100% disagree. The US would be able to just walk over any other nation. I don't understand how you can think otherwise. You know we have 50,000 HIMARS rockets, right? You know we have the large majority of the world's actually effective stealth aircraft, right? You know we have the capability to identify and destroy virtually the entire OPFOR military force using solely satellite intelligence + long range GPS guided weapons?
Dude, nobody can even try to stand against us. On top of that, our offensive maneuver units have disgusting amounts of precision firepower, and that's before you consider that US air power can single-handedly destroy any other military on earth.
So no, offensives are not hard. Russia just has a rotted out husk of a military that was obsolete in doctrine and equipment such that it couldn't even defeat a soviet-era opponent. Russia went into this war with a huge air force it couldn't use because no SEAD. A huge tank force it couldn't use because of modern ATGMs, of which Ukraine had a large number even before it got lots of Javelins. & a military that was starved of infantry and overly-mechanized which looks strong on paper but then ends up with major logistics and rear area defense problems.
