Ukraine would be easy to invade. Ukraine is weak, evil, powerless.
The Russian military is the best in the world.

Putin's lies are all being revealed.

The oligarchs are not stupid, they know exactly who is to
blame for their dwindling fortunes now that the Russian economy is tanking.

Russia simply does not have the resources to fight a long war.
