The Russians are going to control all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper River and entire Black Sea coastline. That area comprises 80% of Ukraine's GDP. Never mind, the strategic importance of control over the Black Sea.

The ruble has been at an eight-year high compared to the dollar. Russia is collecting a record amount of oil revenue.

This war, not surprisingly because it is being conduct by the Biden regime, has been a disaster for us and Europe.

Thinking like yours can only attributed to Russian Derangement Syndrome.

There is just no denying that in the military world Russia has been greatly embarrassed, they could take all of Ukraine and still not undo what the world’s military watchers have seen and learned.

No they aren't. That was the plan, but...nope.

Kharkiv is 30 miles from the Russian border and 300 miles EAST of the Dniepr.

In nearly 6 months of trying, Russia has never been further away from taking Kharkiv than they are today and they now have ZERO path to take Odessa. Zero. (just bridges with holes in them)

We all think Biden is Trojan Corpse brain dead idiot with London School of economics graduates with their hands up his butt making his mouth move, but The Dream of Russia Controlling 80% of Ukraine's GDP is a crack pipe one.

...it is being conduct by the Biden regime...

Not even the managers surrounding Biden call the shots. They simply implement orders and appear to be responsible for some tactical decisions, not strategic ones.

I think all of them are ultimately expendable and as they face *election*, they will be replaced. Or replaced by other means or stand down, like Draghi. I also think the next iteration of Young Global Leaders will be less charming.

I agree with your post, but would like to address the RDS characterization:

If you think back to the origins of TDS and follow the Current Thing forward to today, that’s all the RDS really is: the momentary manifestation of fervent support for The Current Thing as defined/presented by the legacy state media. It is appropriated by neoliberals desperate to at least cling to the coattails of those they believe will win and then reward them. Don’t get me wrong, it is still a mental illness, but it is induced, not organic.
