Do you ever wonder if the russians, looking at where Germany is today as a country, compared to their suffering and turmoil, think they may have been better off losing the war?

Concerning the P2 article about the loss of Nikopol, the Germans already have quality issues with their armor plate, the loss of mines in the Ukraine will soon have the Russians saying that German armor plate is no good.
