## Strengths/Pros

The Soviet Union possesses a massive army, they use that to their advantage when they seek to overwhelm their enemies, They have knowledge of their terrain, they can manage to outflank their enemies or take advantage of them, if incompetent, the Soviets can wait out their enemies in the harsh winters. Benard Montgomery had once said that Russia had two invasions, one from Napoleon and one from Hitler and both were catastrophes for the invading armies. The Soviet Union has many puppet states and nations that serve as a means of deterring it's enemies from possible invasions or to be prepared when going to war, with the usage of a nuclear arsenal and spread their Communist Ideology.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

The Soviet Union being the largest nation at the time, still had multiple factors for it's collapse, such as economic shortage of consumer goods, as well as majority of it's spending went to military funds, leaving civilians in a rough spot.

One of their more dreadful moments was during World War 2, under Stalin which caused massive casualties of both military and civilians in 26 million people, despite the Pyrric victory.
