Russia is still the second most powerful military in the world. All this time they have only been using 10% of their total power because they don't just want to defeat Ukraine in one day, but instead stretch out the casualties of Ukraine and the western funding in Ukraine until the west runs out of money and weapons altogether, which would give Russia a strategic advantage for the rest of this century.
Russia has only allowed Ukraine to get into Russia because they are pretending to be weak so that Ukrainian troops will all enter Russia and make it easy for Russian troops to destroy them in one fell swoop. This is Russian strategy at play, it is ridiculous to expect a nation state as small and weak as Ukraine to be able to access Russian territory unless the Russians wanted them inside.
Russia has been driving all their vehicles packed onto a single road for easy bombing as a show of force. They are showing that they have so many vehicles and troops that it doesn't matter and they don't even need to care about how many vehicles get destroyed. Like how in the movie 300 a storm destroys hundreds of Persian ships but that isn't even a noticeable share of the total Persian ships.
The Russians are currently letting the Ukrainians bomb their Nuclear reactors and Nuclear energy plants to show that Russians have enough energy in the country to provide for their people and it doesn't matter how many nuclear power plants Ukraine destroys it has no impact on Russia.
This is all true, for Russia is the second most powerful military in the world, which makes it obvious that the only reason Ukraine is able to do anything is because Russian is allowing them to do those things, until Ukraine gets too overconfident and becomes an actual annoyance to Russia. Like a mosquito flying around a bear.
Russiabros, do not fear, we are showing them Ukrainian dogs how strong we are by letting the little kid punch the big man. Soon after the two minutes are over it will be the turn of the big man (Russia) to hit back and that is when Ukraine will learn the exact difference between fighting a sleeping bear and an awakened one.
For the motherland.

China would mog the shit out of Russia if they actually invaded someone. Military power is downstream of economic power and inherited weapons from your imperial days don't matter if you don't have the cash to maintain them and the manpower to operate them. Trying to engage with a negative sum pissing contest against the west won't help when Russia's true long term threat is being doomed by geography to become part of the periphery of a rising superpower on the side of your vulnerable belly.

I think a lot of people forget the USSR had a population a good bit larger than the US and Russia has less than half. That's also ignoring that all the Warsaw pact countries were de facto controlled by Moscow. Russia today is literally just the broken shell of the USSR. They can't compete with the US without exploiting hundreds of millions of people from poorer states.

This book is absolutely indistinguishable from racist eugenics. It proves the point that transphobia and racism are intertwined. Trans men are men, and not erasing women in any way. Go read Stone Butch Blues, its free and way better.
Aside from the literal cover of the book being an homage to racist anti-black propaganda, trans people exist in all indigenous cultures, including Judaism.
Imposing the WASPy British imperialist values of gender as if they are the only correct way is indeed racist.
