“Now this is true. Especially when they have “General Winter” fighting for them.”
Russia has survived because it has two of the greatest defenses ever: The weather and the vastness of space.
General Winter works for both sides ... they’re both used to these weather conditions
and Ukraine isn’t trying to conquer all of Russia, just get it out of its border regions ... so the “trading land for time” tactic becomes irrelevant
take away those two, and whatcha got?
an even fight ... that’s why we’re now in the 11th month, and Russia is in slow retreat
