Russia and Ukraine

Good information here:

You can link that, call it 'good information' and still maintain that Russia is not doing badly in this war? Did I miss something?

The war has gone back & forth. Early on Russia had its share of successes, and then, was pushed back, in part due to the antitank weapons supplied from the West. After that, the Russians regrouped and the war entered a stalemate. Over the last several weeks the Ukrainians have made huge gains, largely due to American intelligence and more Western weapons.

Ultimately, I see Russia winning, in which the West's efforts will have just been to prolong a senseless and unnecessary war. It is most certainly not a hope, but, a prediction, in part, based upon their historical behavior and culture. It is absolutely pointless to argue about such things. None of us has a crystal ball, and so, time will tell. I hope that all of you will have been right, and in the end, I will have been proven wrong.
