>>509264440 (OP)all of russia's money went into putin's pocket instead of things like military and infrastructure.
Russia literally has been using old soviet shit for years and has failed ton invest in anything.
The other issue is that Russia completely greatly underestimated Ukraines resolve and their heart.
These people are fighting for survival and autonomy, Russia is fighting for Putin period.
Poor management, 0 training. Russia went in there with the same bravado and machismo thinking they will just roll over the Ukrainians with no resistance.
Russian Tactics of brutality and attrition has further isolated them. They also underestimated NATO. Russia's hard line tactics literally reinvented NATO. There were many countries on the fence of joining, but the invasions on Georgia and Ukraine have shown the continuation of NATO. Russians have excessive pride and arrogance and are living a lie as well as a total brain drain since the 90s.
Simply put, its the perfect storm of idiocy and ignorance.
