The United States couldn't defeat the raghead Taliban after 20 years in Afghanistan but taunts Russia because they haven't defeated Ukraine.

The Taliban didn't have long-range weapons, F-16s, or billions and billions of dollars from the West, massive training camps, or even mercenaries. First of all, there's no way any country is going to go into another country and take it over within one or two weeks, as the United States suggested. Putin never said that because it is ridiculous. You are covering a large area; you have to take land by increments and secure regions one by one.

In Afghanistan, the United States spent 20 years there and still didn't secure all the regions, even with help from NATO. It certainly wasn't Shock and Awe, and moreover, we didn't win; the Taliban defeated the United States. You can't just go into a country like that when you don't know where the enemies are hiding. Guerrilla warfare; we learned about that in Vietnam and again in Afghanistan. And it's the same strategy that Ukraine is using against Russia.

And let's not forget, Ukraine had time to plan for this. They had time to build up weapons and strategies. Ukraine has been planning for this war since 2014.

No, I'm not a military expert but I certainly know this much: a lot of what's being said by the United States and the West is propaganda. And the reason being is because they don't want to tell the truth: that from the very beginning they knew 1) Ukraine could never win this war. 2) a lot of the Ukrainian soldiers were going to die.

The good thing is many Ukrainians are beginning to wake up. Because now it's just so apparent that the United States and Zelenskyy have been lying to them. Zelenskyy claimed that Russia had lost a million people about 8 months ago, so I guess the number now is a million and a half. Meanwhile, Ukrainian casualties are still under 100,000 according to Zelenskyy, who recently admitted that Russia outnumbers Ukrainian soldiers 8 to 1. Well, let's do the math: Zelenskyy claimed Ukraine was killing Russian soldiers at a ratio of 15 to 1, that they had killed over a million Russians, and that Ukraine had only lost 50,000. That would actually be a 20 to 1 ratio. So, how is it that Russia still outnumbers Ukraine 8 to 1?
