@elston_ No, this is the truth. Russia, a country of 150 million has not been able to take ukraine for 5 years _despite_ having nukes and the enormously advanced weaponry you say.

The only thing they have is manpower, and that's it. The fact that they have not made progress proves they are not as strong as some think they are.

Soon their economy will tank, or alternatively, Putin will be killed, and then it is game over.

That's just a fact. Like the US, russia is a failing state.
