I never want to hear anyone say that Russia is a major threat to either the US or NATO ever again.
They might not be as big of a threat to invade us or the original NATO countries, but until they get rid of the nukes or a way is ever discovered to neutralize them and/or truly defend the US against them they are still a threat.

Is it possible that the Russians have:
1) spent the last several years grinding the Ukraine military down to the point that now it is not capable of resisting much longer?
2) Successfully avoided an all out conflict w NATO during a period where they were not prepared. Now they are prepared. I don’t think NATO wants any part of the Russian military right now.
3)Thru Putin’s cautious and limited approach won over much of the public around the world. The majority of the planet sees the USA as the aggressive, imperial force endangering sovereignty around the globe.
4) The longer he resists an overreaction the weaker the American position becomes. China/Russia/India/Brazil are no longer interested in the post WWII world order.
This will not end well for the US.

You’re very articulate. Member of the debate club?

Sorry, the only appropriate response is to laugh at you relentlessly.

Compare and contrast with how quickly we just vanquished Venezuela.
That's TBD, we grabbed two people and proved the government incompetent. That doesn't mean anything meaningful will have changed 6 months ago (I hope it does, but I've watched this sort of optimism get snuffed out by reality too many times.)

If you're only thinking about conventional warfare, maybe. They could cut direct Internet traffic from the EU/UKI to the US pretty easily. Should both the EU and the US care? Sure. You know how much US firms would lose on the daily with doubled latency to execute financial trades on the London stock exchange and vice versa?
North Korea has zero chance of touching us conventionally, but they sure can steal military data with great success.

It’s amazing what brainwashing has done to the American population.
But go ahead, ignore the incoming arse whooping.

know they won’t run out of money- but at what point in time does it become not feasible anymore to keep throwing shite at Ukraine?
Never.
Ukraines land from a farming standpoint is a big deal for the entire continent.

History needs to remember this as “Putin’s Stupid War.” He is accelerating their demographic decline while weakening them strategically, especially towards China, who certainly has it’s eyes on Siberia.

No one has done more damage to the Russian Federation than Vladimir Putin. And that dumbass thinks he’s saving the Motherland.

To the DV retards, the latency is a thing, and cost millions in seconds.
But keep pretending like the amount of time it takes to go from dedicated fiber from NYC to LON is different from NYC to VA to SFO to Hong Kong to LON is different.

EXA already owns and operates the lowest latency transatlantic cable, EXA Express, and this additional technology enhancement is crucial in applications like financial trading, where minimal delays are imperative for maintaining a competitive edge.

Ironically, it becomes more important as the EU cripples its own farmers, especially the Dutch and the French. But carbon!

The poli board will tell you he’s just slowly grinding them down, while advancing at a snails pace, and lighting metric tons of rubles on fire every day. Great success.

Stalin warned the Russians not to lose Ukraine before he died.
He understood the important as did Hitler who wanted it as well to feed his imaginary third reich.
And if yall think what happened in ww2 is bad be thankful Hitler made a couple mistakes because if he takes Russia you would’ve seen murder to a level the holocaust wouldn’t even be able to register on.
