Nah. They can't even take down Ukraine. I'd guess that those numbers are inflated, and even if real, don't represent trained troops but simply more fodder.
The big questions: can they achieve air superiority? How many AFVs do they have ready to roll? How many tubes? And most importantly, why, when they're balls-deep in a war that is undermining their economy. would they take on another, much more powerful enemy?
This is a Putin Potemkin village to impress Trumpistan into supporting a bullshit peace plan. Nothing to see here.
Even though it's clearly bluster on Putin's part, it's also just one more indication of what a bad time it is to have Trump in the picture (not that I can imagine a particularly good time) - where's a John Kennedy when you need one?
