There is a myth successfully planted in the West that Russia always wins. But things don't always go their way. They lost the Crimean War. They lost the war against Japan. They came out of World War I with their tails between their legs. They lost their invasion of Poland. They lost Afghanistan. And they lost the cold war. So things can develop completely differently. " –. Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski If this idea had been implanted in the West, for three different centuries we would not have had Napoleon, Hitler and the moronic Ursula trying to go to war with Russia. Your statement is wrong, Russia definitely lost battles, but we never fall, but stick together and go again, Russia's resilience and adaptability is its winning factor.
