in general ru consciousness, the single greatest military achievement of their country is ww2. it was a grim, terrible struggle that needed a great national sacrifice by noble patriots who shed their sweat and blood. but due to the unyielding strength of the ru nation and spirit, it was overcome. it's a myth told and celebrated each may, there's a moral to it. so if they say they can win a war against nato - don't calculate like an american or european would. think of the myth of the great patriotic war. that'll make much more sense. of course they'd win. there's so much they have yet to offer in sacrifice.
