Bill,
It's hard to believe that Russia has any conventional military weapons that can compete with the US, given that they spend one-tenth of what we do on defense.
THIS is the reason, Bill:

Ukraine war: Zelensky says 31,000 troops killed since Russia's full-scale invasion (BBC)

Russian Losses in Ukraine 'Enormous,’ German General Says (VoA)

31K dead Ukrainians

Approx. 120K dead RuZZians (my estimate, given the overall estimate of 400K dead or wounded).

That's a 4:1 kill ratio of RuZZians to Ukrainians.

You can dispute those numbers all you want (e.g. Zelensky is most likely fudging those numbers), but the point remains.

RuZZia uses cheap-ass military hardware and HUGE meat waves to wage wars. (That used to be the stereotype of the Chinese PLA, by the way.)

The West uses crazy-ass expensive military hardware in order to try and minimize casualties on our side.

And it's working.

But hey, if you want to argue for the RuZZian way of waging war, be my guest. Plenty of PooTin cucks on this thread would agree with you.
