Ahahaha Trump is halarious., but one thing he is right about and which has surprised many people(american military planners) included is Russia's poor military performance in ukraine
Ukraine has 3x the land area of Iraq. And Iraq had no support and was under sanctions for a decade.
The US still does not have full control over Iraq after 20 years being there.
and how Russian military power has depreciated after the collapse of the soviet union.
No shit. But it is still significant. Russia have 3x the amount of ground troops of the US and more and more modern nukes.
Many people thought Russia will subdue all of Ukraine in a matter of weeks, in fact not just western countries but even Putin himself believed this war will be a quick one reason he made it a 3 week special military operation.
That is BS. Putin did not announce a timeline nor did anyone in the Russian government or army.
It took longer than three weeks to pacify Chechnya and that was way smaller than Ukraine is.
However seem he was being lied to about the state of Russias military capabilities/ preparedness and thr level of deep seated corruption tjat permeats Russian military and society. Here we are, soon 4 years now with no emd in sight.
In case you did not notice the Russians already made analogies to the wars against the Swedes which lasted like 25 years. I heard other people talk about the wars against the Turks which lasted over a hundred years. They don't care how long it takes.
The fact the Russians can fight this war with an insignificant budget deficit and managed to increase army size by 50% in an all volunteer force should tell you how well they are doing. It is just a one sided slaughter.
Try reading about the Russian and Ukrainian prisoner or dead body exhanges.
Russia put 6,060 the overall number of bodies transferred to Ukraine. It also said 78 bodies of Russian soldiers had been repatriated.
Howerver the way Trump is talking about this, its as if he is actually angry with Russia for not being able to win the war quickly, which is actually funny..i do know Trump has a tjing for putin, but not to this extent. Lmao. Lol
Trump is the guy who negotied the deadline for US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan and then blamed Biden for it.
