    They absolutely can.

    Russia has thousands of men willing to fight in horrendous conditions.

    A few thousand soldiers that are very well equipped might lose to 10x as many badly equipped enemies.

    I think they would lose, but they might not think so.

          It’s about search engine squatting, if you now search “Russia meatgrinder” you get that, instead of articles about losing the war.

          I mean it is so ridiculous on so many levels but also the gifts themselves are so absurd. If some of their high up elites just skipped a single dinner, they could probably buy something that is worth 10x more. The ruling class became so addicted to their money that they can’t even sacrifice a minute fraction of it for proper propaganda lol.
