"Steady progress!"

Only a clown totally lacking in self-awareness of a psychopath would claim a gain of 5.8 mi.² as any kind of victory. With 26000 Ukrainian dead that is roughly 4500 dead per mile.

Perhaps you are just happy with the high numbers of dead Ukrainians.

The US has had 100K die every year from drugs pouring over our border.
40 million illegals in our country. (Approximately)
CRE impending crash.
Printing of money destroying wealth.
Kids cutting off their junk.
Military can’t meet lowered goals and expectations.

Russian claims of “great victory” after 10+ months, me thinks you talk from both sides of your mouth

Only a clown totally lacking in self-awareness or a psychopath would claim a gain of 5.8 mi.² as unimportant.

Every victory can lead to more ground gained or regained. Every inch counts, especially when it was yours to begin with. The enemy and those who support them, cannot be happy or cheerful about any loss, as well as the Ukrainians cannot and were not happy to have lost that ground.
