Why are Americans so weak compared to Ukrainians?

[Sicklick]

American conservatives complain about Twitter censorship and Antifa trannies. Look at Ukrainian nationalists. Their Antifa happens to be a continent-sized country with the largest nuclear arsenal on Earth, some of which can carry up to 100 megatons and end all life on this planet millions of times over and is one of the top 3 biggest militaries in sheer size and arsenal, including low-flying attack helicopters, high-flying and more sophisticated fighter jets, tanks, humvees, ballistic / cruise missiles, and cluster, vacuum and thermobaric munitions, and employ brutal Soviet war tactics that defeated the Nazis in WW2, along with proxies in their own country, Crimea that Russia illegally invaded and annexed in 2014, Transnistria to the west and Lukashenko's Belarus to the north. And that's not counting Chechens and Syrians along with other rogue mercenary groups. Ukraine has no other country backing them, because if NATO so much as declared a no-fly zone it would start WW3. So all they do is get volunteers, armaments and humanitarian aid. Ukraine doesn't even have a marginally effective air force. But yet Ukrainian nationalists have kept their own government In check, as well as the Kremlin while all the West does is hide behind them. In a way, Ukraine itself is NATO's NATO.

Think of the Maidan revolution in 2014. The nationalists were about 8-10% of the protesters there and yet they did all the fighting. The rest were just cannon fodder. Otherwise it would've just been some gay pride rally. The Berkut police used live ammunition and tanks on them to no avail. Shootouts happened, and tanks were destroyed with Molotov cocktails. Just imagine if police used live ammo on Antifa or BLM here in the US. You wouldn't hear the end of it. And yet this small group of people ousted their own government In just 3 months, if that.

America used to be the most feared nation on Earth. Whatever happened to that?

They have had to fight off or absorb invaders as far back as history can record & that probably toughened them up a bit.
Personally, and sorry if this offends anyone, I feel that all the land between Germany and Russia is cursed & doomed to eternal bloodshed.
Also they don’t have to reckon with certain minorities like the US does. Imagine if the US govt handed out weapons like Ukraine did, every civilian would be dead in 4 days.

I ain't reading all that exceptionality

America collected all the people in the world who wanted to risk, well, something at least, to start in the New World. So great, Americans took all the explorer genes away with them. What do they do when they have nowhere else to go? Just sit there and get fat, like we're doing now. Make up stories about a Northwest Passage or something, and we'll turn badass again.

Amerikkka isn’t dirtpoor, like it’s rivals, so it doesn’t desire conflict as much. The current strategy is to make shithole poor countries even poorer and shittier.

it’s all very racist when you think about it

The West has a culture that fosters weakness. Think of it like economics: whatever you subsidise, you will get more of.

Culture stipulating that femininity produces everything good in the world and masculinity does everything bad. Weak men believing that listening to a women's opinion opens the proverbial floodgates

agreed, not nearly enough fluoride. Increase the fluoride ten thousand percent for a decade and weed out the herd
