Its never ceasing to amaze me that Ukraine, with essentially leftover western equipment, is handling a full blown invasion by Russia. Its pretty incredible to think what would happen to Russia if the west actually went all in and took down Russia with its full might.
I know they aren’t as dependent as they’ve been in the past on Soviet/Russian armor but it does provide some hints to China’s position as well. A western army at full strength with the full support of the western nations is, and will continue to be for a long time, an unmatched military force on the planet.
Even long before the war, it was clear that Russia would stand no chance in a serious conflict. It’s a country of greedy and corrupt leaders, with the regular people turned to alcohol to make up for their poverty and low quality of life. For decades, even Russia’s cars were remnants of the models from the 60s. Why would the military equipment be any better? As always, the only reason anything holds is that the Russians are willing to sacrifice any number of people just to win a war.

i mean, it’s a ton of the most rich countries, it make sense that it’s the best army on earth
