NATO would mop the floor with Russia if Russia was all they were thought to be Ukraine would have fallen in a few weeks instead the Russians are in a quagmire against an opponent nowhere near NATO's level because their military capabilities were massively overrated to the point they believed their own hype and shot themselves in the foot with a foolish invasion Edited August 17, 2022 by Yzermandius19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand a Russian next to a Ukrainian...I can't tell the difference. Fact is, the Rus have been either centered around Moscow/Novgorod or Kiev depending upon which princes were dominant at the time. As for my ancestry: Volga German...I know plenty about our Russian friends. Enough to know that they are to be taken seriously and not as a cartoon caricature.
