Hard understanding how people see Ukraine army winning this war on any front. Russia continues to bomb and destroy wherever Ukraine has military equipment etc. ..often in transit. Their forces are working with old and new rifles etc they cannot get parts for or mix...and advanced equipment they don’t have enough trained to use... And their held up or surrounded where a battle insues on the ground. Russia withdraws from areas to go to their next objective yet Ukraine reports this as their regaining lost areas or cities as if they’ve won. How silly.

Ri-ight! There is absolutely no historical precedent for an underdog, defending his homeland from a foreign invader, emerging victorious over a numerically superior foe!

None whatsoever!

After all, Ukraine only has about 50 countries, representing a combined 90% of the world's high-tech armaments production and GDP, on its side!

And the impact of the West's economic sanctions has been near zero.

Regarding ‘underdog’ precedent, there’s the ever tenacious Afghanistan...

Regarding Ukraine, the Western inertia insinuates guilty writ large. But that’s not our concern...

I do not see Ukraine/US/Nato as the underdogs as you apparently do. Neither is Russia....but they all have DOGS fighting in this conflict ring.
