Many military experts on both sides of the conflict are predicting a complete collapse of the Coupkrainian military this year.

 

You can't be freaking serious!  Three years later and Russia still does not have Ukraine.  Vlad thought he would take Ukraine just like he took Crimea.  The truth is, it ain't working out well for him.  

Hey, he may eventually a little more of Ukraine.  But, at what cost?

• He is showing his enemies precisely where Russia is vulnerable. 
• He is demonstrating the latest and greatest Russia war technology - which doesn't add up to ****. 
• He has lost many irreplaceable soldiers and top commanders. 
• His military hardware, after being depleted as it has, isn't 2nd rate; isn't 3rd rate; isn't even 4th rate - maybe 5th rate. 
• Russia is now a country that even Israel could decimate, if it wanted to. And, Israel wouldn't likely spare the inhabitants of Moscow their lives like Americans would. Not that Israel has any real interest in doing this - it's just that it could.

After Vietnam, China could have launched into an all out war with Japan.  We were war weary and didn't have enough trained fighters left to protect Japan. Japan was still pretty much military-less since WWII.  There wouldn't have been much we or Japan could have done about it. I'm surprised the Chinese didn't try to do this - a real missed opportunity for them. With Japan gone, they would have controlled the entire Pacific. 

Now, all of the NATO wolves and sharks are salivating over the smell of fresh, Russian blood.  Putin has chummed the waters, and left Russia's innards exposed. Far more exposed than at any time in history. Big parts of Russia are up for grabs.  Well, that's how I see it. If I were Germany or Poland, I'd be carving up Putin's wounded lamb.
