I never did. When UMCRevMom started to post her propaganda here,

I don’t know when that member stated posting but this invasion turned into a quagmire that changed it into a war of attrition, it was never intended as such by Putin.
The original plan was not for Russia to keep dying in the endless 10s of thousands until they exhausted Ukraine’s ability to kill them.
