Imagine looking at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, seeing Russian casualties (so far hundreds of thousands), seeing US casualties (so far: 0) and saying with a straight face that Russia is destroying the US military.I had to do a double take about that lol. I was like “wait what are you on about”.
Anyone who thinks that Russia stands a chance are deluding themselves. Every single S-400/300, etc. site would be knocked out within hours to days. We would have air superiority where our B2s/21s would bomb away. Our F35s would buzz around unimpeded and our F22s would smash anything they could put in the air. Overmatch in every possible way. The only real thing protecting them is their nuclear weapons stockpile.
It is frankly hilarious how proud Russia was of destroying 30 year old American castoffs. I imagine that was purely for internal consumption because to the rest of the world that's just embarrassing.^^^ They don't get that all they're dong is blowing up our old expired junk and saving us money from storing or decommissioning it.

Remember, @Young Grasshopper, the US has destroyed more Russian equipment than we could possibly count. We don't display it though because we don't think destroying Russian equipment is an achievement worth noting. Makes you think, huh.
Yup. As I think I've mentioned before when I was in Russia people would not believe that the average American almost never thinks about them because they think about us constantly. They simply couldn't handle the ego hit from the idea that we don't care about them.
Parallel universe: Putin never gets in power, Russia becomes a free democracy and actually is a powerhouse economically and intellectually, while also having a better equipped and trained military.
I’ve always believed there is potential, it’s just squandered in Putin’s authoritarian kleptocracy.

The testing report showed that engineers are still trying to correct 845 design flaws. Their challenge is compounded by the fact that new problems are discovered almost as fast as the known flaws are fixed. Many of these “deficiencies,” as the Pentagon prefers to call them, have to do with cyber vulnerabilities. The F-35 used to be frequently described as a “flying computer,” although that happens rarely today. The reason is simple: one of the aircraft’s biggest weaknesses is its vulnerability to cyberattacks. Three testing directors in a row have warned about the hacking danger, but many of their concerns have yet to be fixed.
lol. Do you write these fantasies to make yourself feel better, comrade?How did those fancy bombers and F35s work against the Taliban?
*crickets*
The old US shit doesn’t work in modern war(Ukraine) and the new shit(Afghanistan) doesn’t either.
Lots of tough talk coming from a country whose ally is getting crushed daily while they just sit back and watch. Like Biden has said over and over again, ‘we don’t want war with the Russians’. You can’t really blame him for not wanting escalation when he sees how much Ukraine is getting pummeled.
BTW, regarding the F35 we talking about this same F35?
Also:
The Russians probably aren’t too worried about the F-35 fighter
Biden ordered the warplanes to Europe, but a peek at hidden performance tests show they're not ready for any real combat.responsiblestatecraft.org
Not to mention the overall cost, and the fact that they can barely get these junk planes off the ground.

This is awesome and I imagine @Young Grasshopper will ignore it because he has two choices:Pay close attention at the end when your hero mentions the differences in capabilities and says did you decide we're crazy
How many stealth fighters does the Russian Armed Forces have? How many? How many SU-57s are there actually? Single digits at most and would be wiped out immediately by F22s.How did those fancy bombers and F35s work against the Taliban?

That's actually the problem and why NATO is trying to stay out of it. Russia is so overmatched they would be forced to go nuclear if they faced NATO. Of course they can't win a nuclear war either but at least then everyone loses.I had to do a double take about that lol. I was like “wait what are you on about”.

Indeed. The NATO countries walk over egg shells to avoid coming off as threatening; even when a Russian drones encroach on their airspace. Though really they should be ready and willing to at least shoot those down.That's actually the problem and why NATO is trying to stay out of it. Russia is so overmatched they would be forced to go nuclear if they faced NATO. Of course they can't win a nuclear war either but at least then everyone loses.
Yet they still have enough ammo to level entire cities across Ukraine.Of course they are a failed society run by a paranoid lunatic.

The best way to provide insight on the quality of Russian military equipment is to see how many contracts were cancelled by those who have the option to buy western equipment. Btw Russia used to have some of the best scientists and engineers in the world until they decided to kill, imprison or chase them away. And what do they do at the start of the Ukraine war when they discover how far behind their equipment is - they kill, imprison or chase away even more scientists and engineers. Of course they are a failed society run by a paranoid lunatic.
