Lol, unimaginable? Can anyone imagine a country the size of Ukraine defeating a country the size of Russia?

apparently a lot of western liberals can, I guess that's what happens when you get your education exclusively from reading harry potter

Once you huff enough corporate media you can imagine anything they say.

Vietnam beat the US, not really the soundest argument.

[-] Effort0499@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 year ago

Vietnam had a righteous cause to fight for. Ukraine meanwhile is fighting to be a fascist puppet of the USA.

No doubt, just pointing out that:

Vietnam doesn't share a land border with the USA nor were they fighting a conventional war.

Neither was Iraq though. Yet they managed to destroy it nonetheless. Either way It's more complex than the size of the countries involved, especially in modern warfare.

The US's goal was to occupy the country, annex its natural resources, and rebuild the country with private contractors. These are not the goals of Russia in Ukraine

Nicholas 2 and Russo-Japanese war. Different situation, I know

[-] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

By that logic, Russia should have annexed Ukraine by now.

[-] freagle@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Russia isn't trying to annex Ukraine.

[-] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

By that logic, Ukraine should've taken back Crimea...
