Russia couldn't even defeat Ukraine for God's sake in its pathetic proxy war back in 2014-2015

Could have sworn they bloodlessly secured the vital Crimean peninsula which was the main goal in the first place. Eastern Ukraine has Russian involvement but it's not like the Russian involvement has been that heavy.

It doesn't matter if they fought the U.S., Israel or themselves — it's almost amusing how incompetent and poorly-equipped the Middle Easterners were and how quickly they were being crushed when fighting a serious foe,

Lebanaon seemed to do OK against Israel in 2006.

It means nothing because there was literally no challenge to the Russian Army: back in the day the Ukrainian soldiers stationed in Crimea were completely demoralized due to the Kyiv revolution/coup/whatever the fuck it was and received no orders at all; they simply didn't know what to do or how to react.

I've seen a few videos of Russians "securing" Crimean Ukrainian bases — they were just marching in with no resistance as the Ukrainians weren't even armed.

It was such an easy task that the Russians could as well have "secured" civilian-occupied buildings — the level of resistance and challenge would've been the same.

Eastern Ukraine has Russian involvement but it's not like the Russian involvement has been that heavy.

It wasn't heavy, but it was significant enought for Russians to lose a few of their state-of-the-art vehicles (as well as dozens of older ones) and hundreds of soldiers while fighting the same poorly-trained Ukrainian Army (who had their equipment comprised entirely of Soviet-era shit at that time) — that is how Russian troops perfomed while engaging a foe that actually fought back.

Yeah, that was a rare instance of Arabs actually doing somewhat good against a strong army.

Calling Lebanese Arabs

Dangerous game.
