Seems your employer gave you the wrong memo, it's the Russian who have lost 500k not Ukraine.

But I'll bite, Afghan withdrawal was always going to be messy so don't get your "the USA doesn't want you to know about this secret that only I know because it came to me in a dream".

>humiliated in Syria

USA is still there and most likely will be there for a while unless Trump gets elected.

>Russian weapons production is 6 bazillion times more than lichtenstein

And yet they lose all this bazillion of weapons to a ratio of at least 1:2 in Ukraine's favor[1] [1]https://github.com/leedrake5/Russia-Ukraine

And as they say it's not the quantity of weapons but the effectiveness of the weapon that is the determining factor, hence why NATO focus on quality as their doctrine is different than the USSR strategy that Russia is now forced to rely on.

>countries shouldn't have independence they should roll over to the bigger imperialist

Truly the peak thinking of 1800s geopolitics, I assume then that you're in favor of colonialism too?
