yeah well its to be expected. since they can't compete against the West conventionally, they focus on asymmetric warfare, which means giving zero crap about anything we value here in the West.

they are truly on survival mode, and given Russia's recent performance in Ukraine, its really eye opening to see just how much of a paper tiger their military is, relying again on asymmetric weapons of indiscriminate destruction of all things human.
