We're very committed to the truth aren't we. Here's a truth. Putin himself has said otherwise, which ought to clear up any misunderstandings...but some people...you know?
I find it laughable that anyone believes that russia will ever win this war. They lost it the moment they retreated in disgrace and disarray from kyiv...if it's not even more accurate to say that they lost it the moment they stepped foot in ukraine with the army they brought. Their goals in tatters, the reputation of their forces and the marketability of their weapons, severely degraded. It appears to have been a colossal, nearly inexplicable blunder...but then again, competence is not now nor has it ever been a job requirement in authoritarian regimes.
- They still don't have total air superiority.
-Their army is totally demoralized and is having to steal simply to eat.
-The west can out manufacture Russia by serval times.
-Ukraine has proven it can wipe out Russia's supply lines consistently thus causing huge shortages in materials.
-Russia still isn't properly encoding its communications.
Etc Etc Etc ...It's been one blunder after the next.
