So, Trump called Russia a paper tiger, and said Ukraine can still win. Peskov replied that the Russians are bears, and will continue fighting…

Is Russia a paper tiger because it cannot defeat Ukraine in 3 years? Are we assuming that, Ukraine, the largest country in Europe, with NATO support, modern weapons, constant deliveries from the West, its soldiers are trained in NATO countries, NATO officers have trained Ukrainian soldiers in Ukraine prior to the invasion, financial support from the West flows in, mercenaries join the fight (I have seen countless videos of Ukrainian soldiers that don’t speak Ukrainian and Russian). So, technically, Ukraine is no Iraq.

And Russia did not employ its entire military in the invasion, in fact the invasion started rather small. We have to ask why, and I really don’t have an answer. Was it because Russia didn’t have the force ready, was it because they wanted to force Ukraine into negotiations, rather than destroy it, was it because Putin did not want rock things at home through mobilization? I really don’t know but this encouraged the Ukrainians to attack the Russians and feels some rush of peremoha.

There is also the theory that Russia is stalling the advance on purpose. And there are varying explanations for it. The darkest one fears being overthrown by returning soldiers. The darkest one wants to extend the West, industrially, militarily, financially. Bottom line guys is that even if Russia was weak, Ukraine is not scoring any gains over Russia.
