I said that Russia would, in the end, win the conflict if it is allowed to continue on until finding a peaceful solution becomes impossible. I thought it would have been quicker than it was, and it would have been if Ukraine had stood alone.
Russia does not capitulate because their citizens offer up complaints, which is why the U.S. loses almost of the kinetic engagements they engage in, especially if they are protracted due to lack of real commitment to secure a decisive victory.
But also, we no longer fight wars to defeat a threat. We fight wars in order for the rich to become richer from the military-industrial-government complex, and the middle-class dwindles as the poor class expands.
Of course, people like you never get wise to the game, or you profit from the game, which is why we get so involved in far too many conflicts.
Again, this conflict could have completely been avoided by simply pulling NATO expansion off the table. Which of course you also ignore with your retorts.
It was a major geopolitical blunder that was doomed for failure when it was conceived, because the brightest amongst us, really are not the brightest at all. Especially when it comes to waging a kinetic conflict, even as the proxy. They thought they had a winner here because there would be minimal involvement by our young military men & women, and thus, no body bags. They didn't realize that the out-of-control debt would evoke the same kind of rebuke as did growing numbers of body bags in past conflicts had provided.
Like I said, our brightest are not that at all. They are the most politically connected, period. All part of that DEI/Nepotic hierarchy that has replace the meritocracy standard we used to construct what once was but is no more, a strong prosperous nation.

LOL1. I thought the war was about liberating the Ukraine Russians that Zelensky Nazis were bombing and torturing!
Somebody needs to get their story straight.
“I never said that Russia would capture Kyiv in 3 days.”
I never said you did but when Putin attacked the Putin cheerleaders here were all claiming Zelensky would be flying out of Kiev and Kiev would fall in days.
Putin planned to have Zelensky executed and take the Kiev airbase on day one.
Zelensky outsmarted him.
Now Russia is going broke on this war.
