What would their economy have to do with anything? Ukraine is filled with patriotic nationalist men willing to die for their country. The lower living standards has helped keep their nation tough while the higher living standards in the West have done the opposite. If Russia wanted to conquer Europe they have the hardest time in Eastern European countries.

How else would they afford a military budget?

The only 3rd world country I can think of with a threatening army is North Korea, and they clearly have to sacrifice food and infrastructure to support it.

Meanwhile, their Southern Neighbors who are far more rich, can balance nation building with a more advanced army.

If Russia wanted to conquer Europe they have the hardest time in Eastern European countries.

Yeah, no. For starters, countries like France or the UK have naval capabilities. I also don't believe their airforce would get knocked out in a day.

Look I get it. I'm against globohomo and all the other degenerate crap in the West. But that's not a free license to think Russia is now this unbeatable superpower. This is the same country that has a GDP smaller than Italy and suffers from alcoholism...

You are looking at technology and money and forgetting the West is no longer filled with brave masculine men willing to fight and die for their nation. The culture of Eastern Europe is different because the character of the men is different.

If you based it off the Purple Hair Twitter freaks? Yeah.

But the millions of legal gun owners who will snap if their 2nd amendment rights get taken away? No, I think they would put up a serious resistance.

They're obese boomers. They won't do shit.
