    The thing is countries can change. Russia was ill equipped to fight a war against a prepared equipped country. Supplies were missing because people sold off supplies they thought were never gong to be needed. Now they know they need that equipment and the countries economy is on a war footing.

    Look at how much a difference being prepared made for Ukraine the recent invasion compared to the earlier invasion of Crimea.
