I'll never stop laughing whenever someone tells me, with a straight face, that we need to take Russia more seriously because it has Iran and North Korea on its side, while all Ukraine has going for it is all of Europe, the US, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Russia's own reality-defying incompetence.

It's like, "oh no, Russia! Please don't push your economy to its breaking point by starting an arms race with the West in the immediate aftermath of a failed invasion of a neighboring country that you expected to be really easy!

you're so good at the thing, just the best

I mean last time you had way more money, were only competing against the US, had way more land, weren't the most sanctioned country on earth, and didn't get fucked up half as bad as you are now

But the fact that you've voluntarily chosen to play this on Hard Mode just proves you must be really, really, really good"
