Not sure why you find it funny. You’re not talking about a country of religious zealots like you find in the Middle East. You’re talking about a country full of drunks where half of all deaths for men are attributable to alcoholism. Add in that Ukraine has steadily ground down Russia’s supply of military hardware to the point where Russia is now pretty much a soft target. Russians are riding into battle on e-bikes now because they barely have any tanks left. Of the tanks that do remain, they’re circa 1940s and 50s.
Edit: or, downvote and say nothing because you haven’t got a response.

It’s funny because you still seem to be hung up on “my toys are more expensive than yours, therefore I win” mentality.
That logic didn’t work for the US in Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan. And it didn’t work for Russia in Ukraine.
Underestimating your enemy is my best guess as to where the US goes so wrong when invading “weaker” countries, but I’m no expert.
