And he would be 100% correct.

Now tell me how great the Biden economy is like a good, little neocon lickspittle.

Only if you count the very early blitzkreig like seizures and feints and credit Russia with actually controling things they just drove tanks over on there way to somewhere else.

Like the airport on the outskirts of Kiev. Was that a sincere attempt to take over Kiev, which the Ukrainians successfully repulsed and “recaptured” from the Russians? Or: was it just a feint to tie up the Kiev government in local drama while the heavy weapons were moving in the East?

Regardless, at this point we’ve had a fairly static front line for many many months. And there have been excursions in both directions, and one very large battle, the battle for Bakhmut, which Russia won.

The Ukrainians certainly haven’t taken back 50% of what Russia held on Jan 1, 2023. Despite the supposed “spring/summer offensive” having kicked off two months ago.
