Even if Russia was able to defeat the Ukrainian military, Ukraine would just be Chechen 2.0 with all the sectarian violence. A WAY larger force too. Ukraine is a huge country too. Russia would spend so much trying to keep things under control. | |||

But historically, Russia has never had a strong navy. There's even a story from 1905 when they went to war with Japan where Japan just absolutely destroyed their navy. But yeah, getting blocked from the Black Sea would be a step too far for Russia. | |||

their navy is so bad, that their flagship aircraft carrier (russias only carrier) built in the 70s has spent more time in ports getting repaired, than it has spent in open waters. about 80% of its life is in dry dock. pretty much everything about its design is garbage. Even when it is deployed to sea, it travels with tugboats because it is expected to fail. Serving on this ship is seen as a punishment within the russian navy. You know thats some secrets they wish they stole during they KGB heydays good times in the russian military, glad to see things have not improved. | |||

I remember in the first call of duty they sent me to the front lines without a gun.
I earned my stripes that day. I have seen what it's like to stare death in the face and I took that hill. | ||

battle of stalingrad, there weren't hills and you get a gun almost immediately the russian army did this alot in ww2, theres no time to train, and limited rifles to go around, so you followed a guy and when he got shot, you took his gun/ammo what an ass backwards country, here in America we'd be like, "Hey don't worry about being short on rifles, I got plenty of my own" A japanese admiral was interviewed post-WWII who clearly stated: "We never had any intention of invading the USA, for the only reason that behind every blade of grass, is an American with a rifle" You're god damn mother fucking right there is. | |||

They pretty much did the same thing during the special military operation. Just sent a bunch of people who had no idea what they were doing into ukraine, driving tanks off bridges and shit.
Imagine drowning in a tank and losing a battleship in land war. | ||
