I want Ukraine to have a definite and permanent victory, but lionizing the UAF at every level is the propaganda line, not admitting their shortcomings. Its been over 2 years, they've put up a very admirable fight and done a lot of damage to Russia but they've suffered a lot of damage as well. It's a meat grinder for everyone, with minimal to no gains and no end in sight. I am not at all surprised by news of desertions, draft dodging, and generally low morale.

    Absolutely not true.

    If a fifth grader and a lion got in a fight and after an hour both parties had lost an eye but still fighting

    You're not going to look at that and go "wow that fifth grader is doing really bad" you're going to be like what the fuck is wrong with that lion? Shit was supposed to be over 1000 days ago.

    Russia is absolutely losing. A middle school football team is crushing the Lakers in basketball.

    False equivalence

    no end in sight.

    Russia is definitely collapsing as we "speak", the war chest is empty, so although we can't say exactly when, Russia will not be able to continue for much longer.

    Russia has the materials and man power to continue for at least another year. Their economy might cause a revolution from within, but if that doesn't happen Russia is in for at least the next two years.
