[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5593128, member: 24302"] But this is the biggest war for Russia since WWII. Bigger than Afghanistan and that had the full weight of the Soviet Union behind it. Russia's population is about a third of the Soviet Union's without the industrial might of the Soviet Union. And corruption has siphoned off a lot of the money intended for the Russian military. The Russians put in 400,000 men against millions of Ukrainian defenders. And got mauled. If we want to know how the war is truly going since both sides are going to make claims that likely can't be trusted, watch and see if Russia uses those tactical nukes or not. If they don't things are going well enough for them. If they do use them it's because Putin won't consider losing an option. His very life may depend on winning. So if they do use the small nukes it's because they've run out of options and don't care what the world thinks. [/QUOTE]
