If that were true the rest of the world would have swooped in and caused a regime change. Look at Ukraine. Do you really think Russia is powerless? If so, please enlist as a mercenary for the Ukrainians if you're so sure Russia'll be disposed of with pitchforks.
We saw them getting there asses kicked by elderly people with tractors when this war started. And the entire world doesn’t care because if they did we wouldn’t have this going on and people of Palestine wouldn’t have to suffer from genocide.
Every military had it's losses. Is America powerless because it couldn't win the wars in the Middle East? Or on drugs? Or in Vietnam?
Remember when Putin supplanted the military uprising a couple years ago? I understand where you're coming from and want to see Russia, as it is, end. But calling for mutually assured destruction is such a poor choice when there are solutions that don't risk the start of WW3 to explore first.
Yes. The US military is completely incapable of success abroad. That has been clear for at least 50 years now.
Incapable of success in a limited war maybe. In a total war with no rules things would be different I think.
