There is fighting still at the front, but in Moscow where critical defense properties are being burned and the banking industry is already failed and on life support, Putin has lost everything.

Germany invaded Russia in 1941. Russia captured Berlin in 1945. That's four years of fighting.
Russia entered Ukraine in 2022 and three years later, they haven't bothered to do what they did in WWII, and capture Kiev.
Have any of those zeepers ever considered that after three years of fighting, Russia's goal isn't to take the whole country?

So, to refute the unacceptable truth, you dredge around in Free Republic History to find an inappolicable counter argument.
That is intellectual vapidity
