They were losing a war to a bunch of tractors and their flagship was sunk by a country without a navy.
It's not Russian weakness, it's Russian stupidity.
Didn’t realize those billions in aid were for tractors.
They stopped Russia with tractors.
Now they're pushing them back with real gear.
Jokerfication: when you kind of pity someone for being this propagandized, but laugh at them because it's pretty funny
Yes... I am the propagandized one.
Not the rural poor being marched off to die for half the price of a lada they'll never receive for an oligarch's pride.
All I can say is: Please, PLEASE! Make sure they keep marching.
You claim they started with tractors. This is utter nonsense; the AFU started the war as a legitimate military, especially after it took the decade following the Minsk agreements to arm up in anticipation of this war.
You also claim they are pushing Russia back despite the front not moving appreciably in the past year, even during the latest vaunted counteroffensive.
pushin em back 15 miles is good for you?
Do you know how many people pointlessly died for nothing?
were? so you admit that Russia is winning?
besides, this is not what this thread is about, go cope to someone who cares
No, they were losing to tractors, and Moskva was sunk without a navy.
Now they're getting real gear and training to play.
The only thing Russia ever wins are Darwin awards. Fucking being proud of almost hurting a country a fraction of your size right next door, like the US being proud of conquering Ottawa.
Say hi to those F-16s for me.
I'm sure they'll be just as effective as the Leopards, the ghost of kieyiev will destroy the entire Russian army
They don't need a ghost of Kyiv, they know the ultimate weakness of all Russians:

You guys are going to suffer, and I would feel bad if you hadn't started this whole nightmare.
Enlighten us then
All of Europe hates Russia with an all-consuming passion, except sometimes Serbia.
And... that's where you live! That's like all my neighbors thinking I'm a piece of shit and me saying "Oh yeah, well there are people in North Korea who don't hate me!"
I live in Europe and this
is just bullshit my guy
name every person in Europe then or else I'm assuming you're making things up
wrong, guess again
Enlighten us then, we are not guessing.
"please send me your location and full legal name"
See this is why no one can take you people as anything but a joke. Multiple people have asked for your opinion, position, argument, or any thing that would allow someone to seriously discuss anything, but you just reply with a joke, meme or provocation. What inside joke is this law enforcement agent from another country have to do with anything?
respectfully, I'm not here for serious discussions
Fair enough, can we ask you keep the light trolling to the less serious posts?
yes
We're literally dumping decades old hardware on them just so we can keep justify buying more F-35s.
I agree.
And I'm fine with this.
We built those to fight evil Russians, they should get their chance.
At what point do you realize that you have transformed into the jingoistic goobers who were cheerleading the Iraq War during the W. years?
ah, there's the fascist lurking within every liberal. you should follow your leader
“Evil Russians.” Jesus Christ. As if the West did not rehabilitate European fascists immediately after WW2 and end up on the side of imperialism in every conflict around the world for the rest of the century and beyond. Many of which they themselves instigated. Get a fucking grip.
Look up the US attack on Grenada
Or the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham
The US could never conquer Ottowa
