The same could be said of literally every member of every military.

You can wear a uniform for self defense.

If you wear it while being on the offensive, then at least admit to it.

Well they managed to put several probes on the surface of Venus 50 years ago, something not even NASA managed to do successfully, so they are at least somewhat competent. To the extent they are having issues it's because the defender always has a home field advantage and the Russians have to be careful not to cause too many civilian casualties or risk Ukrainians and the world turning against them. The US on the other hand just went full "shock and awe" on Iraq and the end result was probably hundreds of thousands dead, and not a single person ever held accountable for their preemptive invasion and military occupation. Coincidentally Biden voted for the invasion if I remember so he's hardly someone to lecture another country about invasions.

I didn't support the Iraq invasion. I only used it as an example of what a competant military looks like, even if Bush lied to all the Men & Women who took part in it.

I also support Russia on their Space Endeavors, and would prefer they focus on that, than conquering their neighbor.
