The Russians (like the Germans during “Operation Barbarossa”) for a year now have been doing the invading and destroying of another country. Ukraine is not invading the Russian homeland.
Also, the Ukrainians were the ones most poorly armed initially, and the Russian military in Feb. 2022 were already supposedly using their “developed military doctrine” and far greater experience and military power to “crush” Ukraine.
The arrogance, corruption, and degenerate character of most of the Russian military brass (and of Russian political elites too), meant that generally better educated and much more motivated Ukrainian soldiers and NCOs proved able to stop and throw back Russia’s much heralded “2nd most powerful army in the world.”
There were of course some terribly misused elite Russian units that fought bravely, but they were largely decimated trying and failing to take Kiev and its northern suburbs. The huge Russian tank advantage was decimated by the combination of logistic failures and increasing numbers of high-tech shoulder fired anti-tank weapons in the hands of small Ukrainian fighting groups. Even control of the skies over Ukraine was never cleanly attained by the Russian Air Force.
I can only postulate that Sunni Man may have loyalty or feel a debt of gratitude to Putin for Russia’s assistance to various Islamic states in the Middle East, many of which have in fact been attacked or occupied at one time or another by the USA. Today even the Saudis are trying to distance themselves from Uncle Sam and indirectly working with Russia. Perhaps Sunni Man just identifies with authoritarian dictators? I honestly can’t imagine why else he would misconstrue the disaster of Putin’s military adventure (at least up to this point) so greatly.
