LMAO!! Love that spin.
Even the Russian media have acknowledged it was a defeat. Putin’s regime claimed they were “regrouping.” If what was there was just a gaggle of scrubs like the article claims, the Russians would be loudly trying to make that point. It’s understandable the mindset of denial coming from the Putinist crowd. Defeat is a tough pill to swallow.
The bad news is, it means a long war.
” It’s understandable the mindset of denial coming from the Putinist crowd. Defeat is a tough pill to swallow.”
It’s not just defeat that spurs their denial. It’s their pride, their hubris. They believe they know 100% what is going on and everyone else has been duped. Same as the Qtards did. So of course they can’t accept it when reality fails to comport to their fantasies. Reality must be wrong, because they can’t be. If they were wrong, that would mean that all the people they’ve been calling fools for months and months might actually be right, and their pride cannot take that possibility.
