His claim that we only win through sheer mass of manpower, without technological superiority... is a joke.
Explain this to the Turks, that have never won a war against us. Maybe the Persians. Perhaps the Chinese, also.
The Swedes might be curious too, regarding how Peter had a backwards army and industrial base.
Hell, even the Nazis might be surprised to learn that our tanks were inferior. The Americans should be surprised why inferior MiGs and SAMs shot down more than a thousand American planes over Korea and Vietnam (guaranteeing an American loss there).
I omitted another dozen examples, because I feel it would be rather unfair to discuss African conflicts, Central Asia, the peoples of the Arctic, various Baltic and Karelian sh!tholes.
The rule, rather, is that Russia loses only when fighting impossible odds.
