Nobody with a functioning brain thinks Russian army is beat to hell. Certainly not a single western military person is saying this. I guess I can see why you'd think this is the case if you've just been guzzling propaganda for the past two years uncritically though.

I have heard Western military people say this, in person. It doesn't mean Russia is not still a threat, but their capabilities have been degraded during the two years of the "easy 2-week war."

If they're doing so well, why haven't they been able to defeat a country with a population a tenth that of Russia?
