To you, maybe, ukraine is a footnote in how the west fails™ when it's not guarding whiteness and warcriming like a common russia...but, to me, things being rough is basically par for the course, not a reason to reverse course.
My amusement is as pure as the driven snow. I get my kicks when people kick you and yours in the mouth. Doesn't look like that's gonna stop happening anytime soon, no matter who has whos papers.
So, you went from making grand claims months back about how much Russia is getting their ass kicked and they can do nothing right and they will be forced to give up, but now you're backtracking and calling the situation "rough" without actually backtracking fully by admitting that you were wrong and you miscalculated. I, on the other hand, will openly admit that I know far less than you do about warfare in general, but I remained agnostic months ago, and said I was unsure how things would end up with Ukraine, but I made the point that Ukraine can't take these types of losses to their fighting force forever, because it's just not sustainable. The Pentagon papers appear to show that I was correct. Maybe don't be so sure of yourself all of the time and try to take more of a fence sitting position when things are not so clear, Nudge, and then you won't have to backtrack when you get things oh so wrong.
