Their equipment is also said to be sub-par.
With 90% to 95% of the world's countries strongly condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine, one would think that Russia would be defeated rather rapidly in any type of larger scale global war.
(Of course, that changes if China decides to partner up with them...)

The Guardian insists that the French are protesting President Macron's rise in the pension age from 62 to 64, achieved through a maneuver that avoided a parliamentary vote.

He got less than 24% of the vote. Israel has had 5 elections in 4 years, and there is no consensus for the direction of the country.
