I actually doubt that Russia would last in a proper ground war with just the US. As weak as Biden made us, the capacity for us to wage war is quite excellent. We are the unquestioned greatest military force on Earth and it's not close. Russia has major problems with shit conscripts and and shit equipment, and good equipment not properly maintained with terrible corruption. They should have taken Kiev. They didn't because of incompetence and fraud. Even with Ukraine's major manpower shortage right now, they haven't punched through, or even pushed Ukraine back from their attack into Kursk. Russia has a major military weakness, the government could be overthrown...
But why the hell would we do that when we couldn't even do proper regime change in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, or Lybia? And we're going to do that against a popular regime? And just getting Moscow is going to probably kill fifty to a hundred thousand Americans, and for what?... Nothing besides money for a few oligarchs that will be used on hookers and blow. The Iraq War made more sense than this.
Anyone that still talks about "ground wars" against Russia or China hasn't been paying attention since the Korean War. The post-nuclear meta for fighting the US is to force it to quit via a series of Pyrrhic victories. Like the fat retard at the playground, the US will brag about how it totally won the war, but with nothing to show for it other than ant bites and shit in its pants.
If you put any country in the place of the US in Vietnam, Iraq, etc, they would lose too, and worse. Russia's defeat in Afghanistan was arguably more embarrassing than ours.

It's wildly difficult to get the US to win a series of Pyrrhic victories, while not taking at least 2x their losses and losing ground.
