If the US went into REAL action against Russia, Russia would be hard pressed to survive. But the US keeps diddling around with silliness, like the sanctions. That's why the US is failing in Ukraine.
It's not going to happen because Russians would know the end is near and use nukes. In a conventional war the US would win, but in a nuclear war nobody wins. We all get wiped out in a blast or get cancer and both sides know it.

That's not necessarily true. If the big majority of Americans felt it necessary to prepare for war fast, so that the whole country with mind and soul went to work at it, things would be different.
As it is, Americans are too busy playing with their toys (and fentanyl) to want to prepare for war. Besides, America has nukes, but not even Russia is sure that they want to destroy the world... except for people who are promoting virus warfare... like Big Pharma.
The War We're Finally Allowed to See
http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2023/july/07/the-war-we-re-finally-allowed-to-see/While Tynda and his team were fighting from the trench, long and powerful fusillades had issued from another Ukrainian position, on a hilltop behind them. I later went there with Tynda. In a blind overlooking the no man's land stood an improbably antique contraption on iron wheels: a Maxim gun, the first fully automatic weapon ever made. Although this particular model dated from 1945, it was virtually identical to the original version, which was invented in 1884: a knobbed crank handle, wooden grips, a lidded compartment for adding cold water or snow when the barrel overheated….
In the course of the past year, the US has furnished Ukraine with more than thirty-five billion dollars in security assistance. Why, given the American largesse, had the 28th Brigade resorted to such a museum piece? A lot of equipment has been damaged or destroyed on the battlefield. At the same time, Ukraine appears to have forgone refitting debilitated units in order to stockpile for a large-scale offensive that is meant to take place later this spring. At least eight new brigades have been formed from scratch to spearhead the campaign. While these units have been receiving weapons, tanks, and training from the US and Europe, veteran brigades like the 28th have had to hold the line with the dregs of a critically depleted arsenal.

In Mogelson’s writing we meet conscripts sent to the front after little or no training. He describes one man who was kidnapped on a city sidewalk and was under Russian fire three days later. Paralyzing fright, exhaustion, demoralization, desertions, a sort of Beetle Bailey incompetence—these are rampant among the green draftees that now make up the majority of the AFU’s infantry. They fight with Vietnam-era vehicles shipped from the US, or muzzle-loaded mortars long out of production, or Soviet-era weapons left over from the pre–1991 days—and, withal, too little ammunition for this kind of matériel to make any difference at all.
A 1945 Maxim gun of 1884 design? Jeez. Mogelson is right to question, if too briefly, where may be all the weapons the US and NATO allies are shipping into Ukraine. A great number of them have already been destroyed, he reports, which comes as no surprise. Being as close to the scene as he put himself earlier this spring, he would have done well to tell us something about the greedheads who run the regime and the military as they sell shocking amounts of arms into the black market as soon as they arrive across the Polish border.

. In outcome of this story only thing that Russia got is Medvedchuk, but I'm not sure what' they're going to do with him.
