Certainly Яussia thought the war would be a walk in the park before they sent in their untrained, equipped with genuine Яed Chinese junk hardware, ground troops.
Яussia has an odd attitude toward their military - they very nearly worship their Иavy while treating their ground troops like the dirt they get buried in.
Personally, I want a Ukrainian victory, partly because half my genes come from that area of the world, and largely because I enjoy it when an underestimated victim surprises a bully. Did you know "Putin" is Яussian for "Bully"?
It isn't but it should be.
