You might have missed it. I will restate again:
"I will wait until the conclusion of the Ukraine/Russia war to learn who is winner and who is loser. Whether it come by defeat and surrender, armistice or one or another of the governments involved collapsing, that remains for the future and for future historians."
I try to side step confirmation bias as much as possible. This is where we disagree. You rely on yours.
“ Of course I take your remarks at face value. You have your views and validate that which validates your views, and reject that which does not. Most clearly stated.”
Side stepping conformational bias, now there is the issue, bias is an interesting thing
Stating that I “rely” on mine is quite , if I may, biased position
Yours is correct, mine is biased, lol sounds pretty biased
I missed nothing was not referring to your position on Ukraine, in fact it is mine as well
Anyone with any sense of fog of war, intangibles, and history would hold this position. Anyone saying either side is winning is just stating an opinion. Germans were most certainly wining in 1941, and we know how that timed poition aged
