They may have had the potential to be a superpower, but it's apparent that they never had the leadership to conduct as one. Those inside the Kremlin bought into their own bullshit and thought of themselves as a superpower, not realising the machine within is operating on unlubricated, old, broken, and missing parts.
This seems to be a common theme with countries that feed a superiority narrative to their people and other nations.
Oh, they were a superpower as the USSR. Propping up friendly governments, supplying coups, ratfucking around where more blatant impositions wouldn't be tolerated. It was just built on a house of cards and when it imploded it imploded big.
Oh, we have the military superpower. We're constantly putting it on display. We're basically a giant weapons and war factory. When we go down, it won't come from the outside (except in the form of cyber attacks and misinformation campaigns).
Though I could see it in a few decades. Russia was a powerful body full of rot. We're a powerful body with an infection. If the authoritarians win, they'll replace competent people in key positions with unqualified party-loyal yes men, and that will start the rot.
Your mindset is based on the shallowness of an acute modern opinion that disregards history as much as it does immediate reality and humanism.
Or, to put it simply; you have as much growing up to do as you do learning the basics—at least to contribute in this forum.
You're new to this. Your opinion matters, but isn't valuable. It seems valuable to you now, but isn't to others. That's your first step forward to knowledge.
As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it's clear you don't even understand the premise of NATO.
This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they're made of wood and drawn by horses.
You're either a troll or you're peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It's so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.
The North Koreans must feel like the Paradis Eldians felt in AoT when they discovered the outside world was at least 100 years in the future technology and society wise
They just use more meat when adequate equipment lacks. See golfcarts, motorcycle attacks instead of using a bmp or some infantry fighting vehicle for example. No protection means higher losses. Also their tanks are older and older.
The sanctions help with making new hi-tech, and upgrading old stuff, what they do is just refurbishing old tanks and btrs (and building a handfull of each each month) but they're scraping the bottom of the soviet stockpile as we're speaking.
Maybe they will run out a month from now, we'll see.
Whataboutism is for those who do not know how to shit post. We are here to shit post or at least, throw a little shit at each other, tossing questions and comments in a bouncing, cow-filled cyclone of chaos and irony.

North Koreans right now
Edit: just noticed the duplicate word. I'm leaving it. Not like the guys on the front line are going to be able to read it anyways.
I had to read it like 4 times to find the duplicate word. My brain just kept skipping it.
You aren't supposed to be snorting agent orange. I don't care how many other kids tell you it tastes just like Kool Aid...

Yes, but they engaged in world politics as a superpower
And that circles back to my original point.
I mean, don't look at any other superpowers you might know...
Like when Ukraine was an SSR?
Ukraine was a powerhouse of the USSR, wasn't it? I think that's why they got so much nuke power, they produced so much food
begins sweating profusely

They are loaded into magazines.
You're talking about the USA right? Because nobody mentioned the USA.
NATO losing to Russia in a direct conflict? Truly non credible, my brain worm friend.

There is too much to cover here.

Collective bargaining powahh!
Ok, what is it then?
Mine’s £40k. Could be better, could be worse.
In GBP I'm at 33k. Not great.
I too want this information.
But nobody asked.

I meant when they encounter the western weapons but touché
Gotta feed that meat grinder.

Strictly speaking, 2 years, 8 months, and 24 days, or 998 days. We're just under the 1000 day mark, though.
