The Russian military is not in good shape. I've read the experiences of one Moscovite that recently was in the Russian military for a couple years and he talked of the vehicles having flat tires more often than not, dead batteries, and the troops draining all their gas out of the tanks and selling it on the side of the road.
The condition of their navy has been dropping like a rock since the Soviet Empire collapsed, except for some subs that they manage to keep from dropping to the bottom of the ocean.
Their tactics still remain very similar to WW2 tactics.
In a conventional war the US would rack up a very lopsided kill rate against them.
Is it worth it for us to go at it with them? Fuck no. Let Putin take the Ukraine and feel all powerful.
I don't think he's crazy enough to try to keep rolling over additional countries.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
