So what does it say about the “2nd army in the world” that when it invaded a country which is led by a “homosexual jewish nazi” (you side’s characterization of Zelensky) and backed by a country led by “weak, corrupt, stupid, feckless, senile, worthless pile of shit” Biden (this is where you and I mostly agree), it’s getting chewed to bits? If putin is such a master strategist, why is his blyatskrieg taking years not weeks, why did russia have to mobilize 300,000 additional packets of cannon meat (with an equal number of russian men fleeing the country to avoid conscription), why is his Black Sea flagship sunk by a country with no navy, etc.?
Russia had Europe addicted to its oil and gas, plenty of German and French politicians in its pocket, and the world scared of its military. Now the Nordstream pipelines are scrap metal at the bottom of the Baltic, Finland with its 1,350-kilometer land border with russia has joined NATO, and Turkey has emerged as the regional heavyweight. Any links of ‘slavic unity’ between Ukraine and russia are permanently severed. Ukraine will be integrated into the EU, and probably into NATO as well. Russia is facing at least a generation of sanctions and reparations before it will fully rejoin the world community. Great victory, da?
Lastly, why are you shouting at everyone in this thread? Tabbing the Caps-lock key only makes your arguments sound even more unhinged.
What Russia-Ukraine war has proven is that era of conventional boot-on-the-ground warfare is over.
Technology has made it obsolete and unwinnable.
America learnt it in Vietnam and Afghanistan.
If this war is dragged out, it will likely end up as nuclear war. May be that is the end game of neo-cons.
Those who cheer it will own it
