Your thinking Russia is winning?
Putin now lives in a nuclear bunker, because he fears for the remainder of his life and is considering taking the world with him. He believes that if he cannot take Ukraine, that he should nuke the world. That’s crushing it in your view?
Over the last month, the Russians have lost or retreated from more land than they have gained. That’s loosing ground. You think that’s Crushing it?
Just the facts bro? Those are the facts, and even more facts. The Russians say they have lost 1/3 of their ground forces (60K) people. The Russian generals have said they can’t replace them. The Russians FULLY expect 1 million very angry and western armed Ukrainians in the next 8 weeks. This isn’t western propaganda, it’s what the Russians are saying. That’s crushing it in your view?
I suspect the Japanese saw a string of victories after their attack on Pearl Harbor and thought they were crushing it, like you see with Russia. No, Russia needed to win quickly and decisively, and they have failed. They should cut a deal, give up land and/or make reparations before it’s gets uglier for them and the world.
And, oddly enough, the lefties are now calling for a cease-fire.
Have another big glass of koolaid.
Let me start by saying I have no dog in this fight, but I have been watching the maps closely, as we are seeing old fashion war on a micro scale.
Yesterday the Ukrainians retreated along pretty much the entire eastern and southern fronts. Now if you have a home team in this fight, and it is the Ukes, then it looks fairly bad. But in all honesty, they needed to do this days ago imho. They were slowly being surrounded, and it was time to pull back and regroup. So while it may sound bad for the Ukes, it is actually some of the first wise moves I have seen from them tactically.
As for Russia losing? Hard to say that, as with a smaller force, they have managed to outmaneuver the Ukes and force a withdrawal.
To get a clear picture, without all the MSM spin, one must watch both the wests map and the russians map. They are really close in nature with one or the other being maybe a day or so behind.
Now that it looks like the Ukes are starting to understand how to correctly operate (retreat is not necessarily a bad thing in war) then they may finally be able to set up a strong position. We shall see as time goes on. But those are the facts on the ground as of yesterday as near as I can tell.
