>>19970477they cannot go to war in west because they cannot win a war against west. russia is a shithole. their currency value is in shitty state, their economy, corruption, development, etc. are negative. they’re going to war with another corrupt slavic shithole (ukraine) because they’re not so threatening. yes the west supports it, sends billions, and equipments. but they don’t actually send their army men to fight there. or declared war. that’s why russia always fucks with nearby underdeveloped countries and never touches NATO.
all these glamorized portrays of russia is from popular culture mainly because of memes where some russians have a bear as a pet, or tanks driving in roads, etc. but on reality it’s a total shithole. and i’m pretty sure you know it too. if not, just do some reading into data, not memes.
