The American recruitment numbers are way way down. With few able and even fewer willing, the US military is in a much worse shape than Russian military can ever be.
You are absolutely right Stevo! Morale is at an all-time low. 250 per day commit suicide. The admitting gays and lesbians to the ranks has caused anger among the troops, as has the lowering of standards for recruitment and for admission to special forces like Army Rangers and Green Berets. A relative of mine, 14 years a highly skilled Green Beret is getting out only 6 years before full retirement, and he tells me that many other GB's with many years of service are also getting out. Finally, these soldiers have been continuously deployed since the first Iraq war and this has resulted in thousands of divorces. On top of this, their pay is not sufficient to pay the rent, buy food, and pay for childcare...thanks to rising prices on everything cause by the boomerang effect of the US sanctions. 70% of Americans want an end to war and are not in favor of their government involvement in Ukraine. So, yes, the US is on the verge of economic collapse, and it's military is not prepared to fight against Russia and China. Bad Moon rising over America.
Many vets from Iraq returned home after 2008 to find their homes had been fraudulently foreclosed on by bankster criminals using forged documents. This was the massive foreclosure fraud committed by Wall Street on the heels of the multitrillion dollar subprime fraud for which no one was prosecuted, being Too Big to Jail.
Yes. That is why the US renewed its hysterical lies about Russian 'warcrimes' at the UN; and why Biden accused Putin of 'shamelessly violating the UN charter'. This is the US which has murdered millions with carpet bombing and chemical weapons like napalm and Agent Orange (naturally no Western judge will admit this) in North Korea, Vietnam et al, plus the wanton destruction of Iraq in 1991 and 2003 with 'shameless' and shocking boasts beforehand of 'shock and awe', the 20 year occupation of Afghanistan, the 'no boots on the ground' destruction (using fanatic Islamic terrorists funded and armed by the CIA, as with Ukrainian Nazis) of Libya and Syria, the massive humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen with WMD supplied to Saudi Arabia, etc etc etc. This is not the pot calling the kettle black - this is the Auschwitz Oven doing so.
Uncritically repeating Russian talking points, always stating the opposite what so called 'Western Mainstream media' is saying and denying any of their validity across the board and as well as denying any setbacks, evident crimes committed by the Russian military and huge logistical, tactical, economic and societal problems during the invasion, is neither smart or intellectual but rather one-sided, naive or biased.
More accurately it is you who are 'uncritically' parroting US lies and propaganda, in support of this obvious American war by proxy using Ukraine as pawn in Breszinski's 'Grand Chessboard', recently updated by the Rand Corporation. Perhaps if you looked at the facts - the Victoria ('Fuck the EU') Nuland orchestrated State-Dept/CIA coup of 2014 after which weapons were secretly provided to the Ukrainian Nazis - now done openly ; and how on just the 2nd day of the 'Russian invasion', when even Kyiv said there were only 200 casualties, Biden boasted he had destroyed the Russian economy and currency with sanctions which were obediently followed by the Western gang of vassals and satraps from Canada to Britain to the EU. He's not boasting now....but the US which has murdered millions of people boasting in advance of the shock and awe of carpet bombings by upto a thousand B-52s (North Korea, Vietnam et al, Iraq, Afghanistan etc) - throwing the UN charter and the Nuremberg laws in the garbage, now has the temerity to accuse Russia of warcrimes......knowing full well this entire tragedy could be avoided by adhering to previously negotiated Minsk agreements. But what the scum in the US government want is to destroy and quarter Russia, and resume their loot of Russian resources which they did successfully under Yeltsin. Well Putin is having none of that. This is a war of self-defense by Russia.

Good on your Andrew for setting the record straight.
