Other than you, who believes Russia is losing?
So why can’t they win then?
All we see is a former superpower flailing around on the battlefield for OVER 2 years now, while losing 30% of their BSF to a country with no Navy ...
Meanwhile, Russia’s European energy markets are lost for good (leaving a huge revenue hole), the economy is faltering, and a whole generation of Russians are getting wiped out for nothing
By any objective measure, that’s not winning
Losing is an interesting term
Of all the stated and restated goals putin has announced for his smo, which ones has he accomplished?
Has he demilitarized Ukraine?
Has he stopped NATO expansion?
Has he forced Ukraine into a neutral status?
NATO now includes Sweden and Finland, something no one considered likely 2 years ago
EU membership for Ukraine is moving forward
Russia is clearing out junkyards at a spectacular pace.
Russia has gone from second in the world in military exports, to no exports and a big importer.
“Smoking and electrical” accidents have risen to new highs
Hydro carbon revenues have plummeted.
Black Sea fleet has been reduced, and Crimea has been reduced to TDY location for ships
No T-14s on the front but there are T-55s
Is russia losing……?
