    What do you mean? There are only a handful of countries that were on the winning side of both World Wars and both the US and Russia are among them

      Russia made it through WWII solely because of US aid.

      That aid is now flowing into Ukraine.

      Russia lost in WWI before it ended, they were essentially knocked out of the war before the revolution and Bolsheviks made the official.

      Let’s count the deaths and reevaluate what it means to win.

        Lots of Russians died in WWII, yes (actually just realizing I don’t know anything about the breakdown of casualties or deaths in WWI). But if you count the number of casualties inflicted I imagine it would scale with losses experienced. Except for the USA, since we kinda cheated with the whole Hiroshima and Nagasaki thing

          In WWII, Russia had about 1 gun to every 5 soldiers.

          They literally had dudes running the lines without guns, and their battle plan was to pick up dead comrades weapons.

          Russia has absolutely no war cred. Win or lose. they’re a laughing stock, every time.

          How about that time they lost hundreds of soldiers to a single Finnish Sniper. They thought “The White Death” was a whole fucking army, it was a fucking local farmer.

          Russians are absolute legendary goobers on the battlefield, historically. And this Ukraine war is no different. Sending confused untrained teenagers to the front lines to abandon tanks. Classic Russia.

            The Soviets did not send soldiers to battle without weapons. That is a myth. They fought like hell in WW2 and finishing that is stupid.
