Yet 8 months later we are talking about whether the Russians can correct their problems and launch a successful counterattack in an invasion that was supposed to have not even developed into a real war.
If the coverage had been fake, then we would not be having the situation that Russia is in today.
I can understand why someone would see it that way - lots that's true. I don't see it as inclusive of all facts though, so we will disagree and I'm comfortable watching how it unfolds.

I will disagree with your conclusion here also.
It has not been a static situation. The US has flooded the zone with weapons, money, military contractors, air defense systems, intelligence targeting, etc. Also, there is the continual threat that NATO will get involved with it's own troops too. Putin must cope with all these things and not lose.
Since I do not know his mind, again, I won't reach your conclusion until we see more unfold.
