Thoughts?
If the Ukrainians have done as well as claimed why are we to believe he’s invading anyone?Thoughts?
MoldovaThoughts?
Consistency? Why do you think Russia has been unable to defeat Ukraine in spite of having superior numbers? Are the smaller number of Ukrainians simply better equipped than Russians? Or are they better fighters than Russians?If the Ukrainians have done as well as claimed why are we to believe he’s invading anyone?
I get a crucial tenant of fascism is the idea the enemy is both an eternal existential threat and too weak to pose any danger to the glorious forces of the nation, but some basic consistency would be nice.
Moldova, But I would do a side bet on Norway (Svalbard) .Thoughts?
If the Ukrainians were “better fighters” than the Russians they wouldn’t have vast swathes of their territory still under Russian control.Consistency?

Why doesn't Russia control more of Ukrainian territory? Are they less well equipped than the Ukrainians? Or are they just poorer soldiers?If the Ukrainians were “better fighters” than the Russians they wouldn’t have vast swathes of their territory still under Russian control.
Agreed.Moldova would be my bet.
But I would do a side bet on Estonia.
Because, in case you hadn’t noticed, Ukraine is a rather big place, and it takes a lot of time and resources to take and hold land.Why doesn't Russia control more of Ukrainian territory? Are they less well equipped than the Ukrainians? Or are they just poorer soldiers?
The U.S. lacks the power to enforce anything close to that.Agreed.
The Russians no longer need to be permitted to have a military.
It shouldn't have taken the Russian military this long to conquer Ukraine. Early predictions at the start of the invasion had Russia in control of Kyiv within a matter of months.Because, in case you hadn’t noticed, Ukraine is a rather big place, and it takes a lot of time and resources to take and hold land.
Why hasn’t the Western “game changing” equipment changed the game yet? Ukraine is supposed to be armed with the best equipment in the world, yet all I see are bunch of much hyped burning wrecks.
Yeah, that’s probably because the U.S. is so overwhelmingly arrogant it couldn’t possibly comprehend a war lasting more than, like, a month without all sides utterly collapsing.It shouldn't have taken the Russian military this long to conquer Ukraine.

What happened?
Moldova would be my bet.
