Iraq was completely captured by the US in a little over a month, a country on the other side of the world. 3 months in and Russia has only captured 25% of Ukraine.

Why does Russia fail so bad? They expect to be able to beat nato?

slide thread
but this is like asking how Israel won the Arab-Israeli wars against most of the Arab world
the answer is US weapons and money
Ukraine if it was fighting by itself would have fallen in hours
but because they have billions, now hundreds of billions, and soon to be trillions of dollars worth of weapons they can hold out for decades or at least for as long as Russia does not want to flatten the country and actually take the infrastructure like the ports in tact.
The war in Iraq lasted 20 years and they were just barely armed by lesser powers like Russia + whatever they had when the US gave them weapons in the 80s and early 90s

threadly reminder that the vatniks on this board said that russia would be chilling in kiev in 48 hours at the absolute latest

Now do Afghanistan

dont forget Vietnam.

Death to Ukraine and NATO dogs

This isn’t a very good comparison

>Why does Russia fail so bad?
They're not fighting for the Chosen People, so failure is possible.

Because Hitler was right about snow niggers being subhuman garbage. Their strategy for all of their history has been insanely simple. 1) Rely on their absolutely insane landmass to retreat into so that they can overstretch the logistics of their enemies and then allow Mother Nature to do most of the work for them. And 2) mindless zerg tactics.

Didn't Russia lose there? Doesn't really help your argument.

because this war is fake

This always happens, they already have enough land, and I think their soldiers realize this on some level

The US would do the same to Ukraine as it did Iraq. The short answer is like the guy at the gym who eats right, exercises strength, flexibility, etc vs the guy who wants to sell you horse test booster. The US has massive logistical systems, intelligence gathering systems, and manufacturing strategies aimed at succeeding in conflicts the world over. Russia designs a cool jet or tank, demonstrates it, then grifts the world because it's easier to pay off their cheap bluff than deal with them.

Iraq didn't have the entire western world sending it weapons and money and providing intelligence

This. And everyone turned a blind eye to the atrocities the shock and awe campaign inflicted.

It was the 4th largest army in the world at the time and Iraq was rich as fuck from oil before the war.
What atrocities? It was fucking badass. The whole army surrendered in 2 weeks.

Because Russians are White Niggers!

Every military analyst said that, they didn't anticipated that Russians would go so soft on Ukrainians.

Biden himself said it. Go back to /k/

Because Iraq is just a plain dessert, very easy to spot enemies and with air superiority it's done.

Compare this to any country where there is topographic advantage like Jungle (Vietnam), Mountains (Afghanistan) or plenty of rivers and deep forests (Ukraine)

suck my fucking balls ice nigger
