1, Russia hasn't fully extended its muscle either. See how Stalin militarized the country in ww2.
2, Americans may not realize the consequence of the war: US has lost its priviledge, which it used to have, to wage war to small countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. Because Russia( probably China too) will definitely intevene it. Iran and N.Korea are 100% safe now. And other countries like Saudi and South American countries will more frequently say no to US. Small countries will be mor independent from US influence. Which is no good for US. I dare to say US loses more than it gains from Ukraine war
Seriously, you are comparing the soviet union to Russia today? Are you even serious?lool Why not compare Nazi Germany to Germany today? Lol How can you even compare Russia today to the Soviet Union of the 1930s-80s? It's like comparing the sun and a lamp. Lol
Dude, just small Ukraine alone has shown how Russia is a shadow of itself and dilapidated power full of corruption and nepotism even in its military. Had it been soviet Union Ukraine probanly wouldn't have lasted long enough for U.S/Western aid to arrive in the first place.
Russia has been trying all it can to beat Ukraine invane. The only thing they haven't used yet is nuclear weapons since they know the implications this will have on them if they do. I don't know which planet you live in to believe Russia hasn't fully extended its muscles either. Lmao. Seems you are just trolling.
Russia has been struggling in Ukraine so bad, so much that they have abandoned their former terms and ambitions for launching the invasion in the first place. In fact they are even in favor of a peace plan/cease fire today.lol. You think they want that for NOTHING? LOL If they could defeat Ukraine why be in favour of a peace plan? When in the beginning Putin wanted to take over the country , demilitarise the country completely, installed a Russian puppet leader and rewrite the construction constitution that forbids them from EVER joining E.U/NATO etc. None of that has been achieved and he's already open for a cease fire lol . Shows you he knows this war is unwinnable for him as long as the U.S/West backs Ukraine amd Ukrainejas the resolve to fight for their territory.
The thing is the U.S hasn't even use 1/30th of its capabilities in this conflict yet Russia is already struggling. The US sees Russia just as an irritant(minor threat) as I said, they know Russia poses no real credible threat to US global hegemony/supremacy per se(though its still beneficial to cut them down to size as well). China is what the US is focus on, reason the US hasn't fully committed itself to Ukraine. THERE is no consensus in the U.S political establishment and parties to support Ukraine fully. Many US politicians, senator's, house rep, officials are divided even on the little support the US has been providing Ukraine since they dont see Russia as a major threat, they keep saying the US should focus 100% on China. Even the republicans are tilting more in favour of a reduced US aid to Ukraine and im favour of a focus only on China.. as I said If China was the one who launched this war believe me US response would have completely different. Since both sides of political establishment (republicans and democrats) have only one thing alone they agree on i.e China as the US only real threat this coming years/decades. So the US would have committed itself fully 100% to Ukraine and beef up its military supplies and industry to provide unlimited and unconditional military aid to Ukraine. Ukraine wouldn't even need to ask. Lol So as I said, Russia is lucky China is there, else the US response would have been completely different. Even with the war in Ukraine, US is still providing less military capital to Ukraine aid than its providing to its military in the indo Pacific command against China's threat. Check this year military budget procurement. You can see that US doesn't see Russia as much of a threat( and rightly so, they are a shadow of themselves militarily and even more so economically/financially)
The US hasn't loss much in ukraine war. If anything they have benefited. They have been able to deplete Russia's military to a very low level(and it will keep getting worse for Russia with each passing day in ukriane) without lossing 1 american soldier, they have suceeded in uniging NATO even more under US military umbrella(even finalnd and swdeen are joining NATO and allying even more with US , something that was unthinkable just 2 years ago), they have suceeded in pulling Germany away from Russia orbit and blackmail by severing economic links between both and stopping Russias huge gas supply and leverage over Germany and Europe (something the US has been trying to do for years invane) lol, They have isolated Russia internationally now with even Europe (their biggest trade partner) joining the sanctions and isolation. Etc etc Russia now has only China, Iran , North Korea and India to a lesser extent to rely on. Even so Chineee, Indian companies are not openly trading with them, many companies from China and India even stopped involvement in Russia for fear of secondary sanctions from the West. Especially those whose business are more exposed to the West. So Russia has only Iran and North Korea(2 countries with barely any significant foriegn trade/presence. Lol ) to trade with Unconditionally. Lol etc etc
Only a very naive person will say the US has lost more than gained in the Ukeaine war. Lol like seriously? No point even discussing further if you actually think that for real.
