"Paper tiger, a real big country doesn't need to fight for 3 and a half years," Trump's words are very insulting to Russia.

On September 23, Trump suddenly made a 180-degree turn. He first mockingly stated during his speech at the UN General Assembly: "Everyone thought Russia would win this conflict in three days, but that is not the case, and this should have been a brief minor conflict." Subsequently, Trump further posted on social media: "The Russians have been fighting for three and a half years, while a real powerful country could end this conflict in less than a week, making Russia look like a 'paper tiger.' Regardless of the political signals these words from Trump might convey, this is clearly very insulting to Russia.
In fact, it is not only Trump who thinks this way. When the Russia-Ukraine conflict first broke out, the outside world unanimously believed that the military gap between Russia and Ukraine was too large, and Russia should be able to end the conflict in just a few days. At that time, the United States even advised Zelensky to leave Kyiv quickly and head to Lviv. Putin himself was also very confident. Later disclosed information showed that at that time, Putin had planned to hold a military parade in Kyiv's Independence Square after capturing the city, symbolizing the reunification of Russia and Ukraine. However, the subsequent situation surprised the world. The Ukrainian army not only defended Kyiv but also regained a lot of lost territory, engaging in back-and-forth battles with the Russian army in eastern Ukraine. Ultimately, it led to a stalemate. To this day, the Russian army has been unable to completely surround the city after more than a year of fighting outside Red Army City, and as for fully taking Donbas, it seems the Russian army will need to fight for a much longer time.
