Was there a point in this invasion where the Ukes had a chance of winning ever, and I missed it? Or did the Erous just pretend that the Ukes could have somehow won their territory back if they’d only done this or this or that other thing?

Notwithstanding Trump’s ignorance of Russia’s reasons for starting the Special Military Operation (SMO) in February 2022,

Given that the Ukraine is losing the war …

That is an understatement…the recent SBU( Ukraine) document dumps state St Z has lost 1.5 million…KIA. The Ukrainian population knows this- there is no hiding it from the Ukrainians- only the western MSM can. i am awaiting Zelensky’s Mussolini moment.

“Was there a point in this invasion where the Ukes had a chance of winning ever, and I missed it?”

The Russians were clearly overextended at the beginning, but given that the Neocons were set to not only drive the Russians out of Ukraine, they were then going to try to take Crimea, which, like Kalingrad, would be responded to with nuclear weapons.

So, Ukraine was always going to lose one way or another. It was more a question of whether they took-down the West with them...heck, even Obama CLEARLY understood it. Trump then made the mistake of trusting the Neocons his first term...so he set the table for Biden’s women to launch the war. And now Trump has to clean up the mess.

Amen brother. Ultimately, Vlad will never give his Russian Provinces up, ever…and St Z will not accept territorial losses, it will be decided on the battlefield…
and things are looking worse every day for the green goblin.

the Soviets were vulnerable

That's a dishonest way of saying "The USSR collapsed under the weight of its own stupidity, oppression, and corruption".

Well he wrote it and posted it on the internet - therefore, it has merit...right?

There is now a growing “woke right” which is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the “woke left.” Reality has zero bearing on what is said.

“The USSR collapsed under the weight of its own stupidity, oppression, and corruption”.

They did. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 was a complex event caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Economic stagnation, political reforms, and the rise of nationalism within the republics all played significant roles, alongside the impact of the Cold War and the perceived failure of communism. And communism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Communism is a political and economic ideology whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society. In true communism, everyone is equal. Same house, car, paycheck, access to everything...it’s all equal. If one person gets something, they all have to or the ideology fails. No reward for harder workers, or even the luck of striking oil on the property you are on because everything is shared and nothing is owned.

But that society will fail because it will stagnate into itself. No progression or a desire to. You won’t gain from it, so why try. And it is filled with oppression because of it.

The more people that see a video, the more people will quote some random person with marginal credentials who made that video.

Not to be confused with Charles Johnson (Little Green Footballs).

LGF... LGF... Another trip down memory lane...

https://freerepublic.com/tag/littlegreenfootballs/index

Is that still relevant? LGF went from right to left, then from left to irrelevancy 15 years ago. Now the site mostly post links to other creator's content. Not as bad as Gateway Pundit writing BREAKING stories about posts on X, I guess.

Back to Johnson, looking over what he was saying 20 years ago, it is easy to see why after a few years he was a pariah to both the left and right, and the Bush hating press. It pains me to see when Johnson and Scott Ritter showed they were bad actors then, are now treated as reliable sources today.
