Well said, Traveler, Kudos.
An 'small' interlocutor wrote you "Russia still has no battlefield successes (otherwise you’d be bragging about that!)"
Quite the little "burning sandwich bag of feces" left on a virtual front door, before ringing the bell and running.
Analysis: The war will end when it ends and as it ends. Not a day before. How it ends will be determined then, not in this moment. No one I have found on these threads "brags" about Russian successes per se, while so many brag about Ukraine successes which later turn out not to have been worth the brag. The war is one of attrition, as men are lost, money is expended (and some likely stolen), and materiel used up. Many lose much, which is why the stupid "lol" children make such inappropriate snipes, pretending themselves clever.
Death and destruction -- nothing to cheer about, on either side. Not in the larger scheme of things.
