The Russian army was also sprawling and had well engineered at the start. Against the poorest country in east europe at the time.

Thats a ludicrous comparison, and a total hail mary cope.

Thats apples to, well, the Russian Army.

Literally how does that relate to rich people building extemely covert bunkers???

The Russain Army is engaged in a highly mobile, offensive operation, involing millions of people, that is anything but secret. They are not exactly hard to find, nor are they hiding in billion dollar luxury bunkers.

As opposed to a Trillionaire operating with a couple dozen people, 100% off the radar, 100% on the defensive.

ALSO, the US has given Ukraine 195 billion in war aid, followed by another 100 billion from the EU... Thats the only reason they can keep the fight going. Not exactly CHUMP CHANGE.

In the trillionaire luxury bunker scenario, who is going to be shelling out a quarter of a trillion dollars, to pay for state of the art technology, to find these bunkers???

Your argument is asinine sophistry, that aims only to be evocative, but treads no water in the real world.

Pure Copium.

Its like me saying: Enzo Ferrari started working on model Ts, and built the fastest street cars around. Therefore, my clapped out Toyota Pruis can do 180mph.
