> the whole world still sees russian military as a power to be feared, not a complete laughing stock anon, see the number of non-vassal states that are lining up to rub shoulders with putin. if things go as planned and russia defeats the combined arsenals and treasuries of the west while facing the heaviest sanctions of all time, the order books for everything from kamaz to sukhoi to kamov will be full for *decades*  plus, i really want to know what you think a fearsome military reputation gives you if you have a great one, like israel. what do you lose if you don't have a fearsome military reputation, like iran or north korea? seriously, why so upset about reputation. even if russia obliterates ukraine up to lvov, the west will still say russia lost because it took too long or something
