Guess that is one of the biggest mistakes US/Nato made - underestimating Russian resolve and military technologies.
But no one really want to discuss it - always want to cover it with propaganda.
And even Zelensky bought into the propaganda - he even boasted at the started: he only needed 1% of Nato weapons and he would be able to beat the Russian armed forces.
Yet, after 18 months of war, Russia have countered every single one of these "game changer" after "game changer" weapons: from Stingers, drones, MLRS, Himars, Tanks, Storm Shadows, etc etc etc. Russia is fighting against all the weapons supplied by Nato nations plus allies, and still holding up.
The best that Ukraine have done with these "game changer" weapons was to gain a few kilometres in its counteroffensive.
But nobody want to discuss this.
The reality is, Russian weapons despite being much cheaper than US and Nato weapons have matched them in every way. Cheaper does not mean inferior. Just ask Mr. Kinzhal missile how effective it has been.
And nations around world witnessed this. And they are starting to realize US/Nato is more hype (Hollywood style) than reality.
And its probably why we are seeing West African countries waving Russian Flags (Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso).
And they feel embolden enough to stand up to Victoria Nuland from the US and Ecowas.
If Biden had his time again (Feb 2022), I think he would order Zelenskyy to make a deal with Putin/Russia. Of course, after more than 500,000 deaths, its impossible to go back to the starting point.
So how will this end up?
IMHO, we will end up (if not already there) in a new multi-polar world, where Russia will hold one of commanding positions.
