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

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

        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

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

        Russia isn’t trying to annex Ukraine.

        By that logic, Ukraine should’ve taken back Crimea…
