    “The Russian advantage at this stage is not decisive, but the war is not a stalemate,” said Michael Kofman

    Oh hello Kofman, welcome to the real world.

      There is no end to what can be achieved with an infinite amount of expendable contractniki.

        Oh, is that it? Or is it because the West cannot produce artillery shells quickly enough (haven’t prayed enough to supply side Jesus)? Or because Ukraine is running out of guys to kidnap? Maybe racist ideas about Russian incompetence and weakness clouded Western judgement and they underestimated the Russians?

        Well, whatever it is, Kofman should have figured this out before the summer offensive. Some reality before that disaster could have saved many lives. But then again, if someone like Kofman had broken out of the collective delusion before June, they would have just kicked him out of the club. Probably smart of him to tell them what they wanted to hear.

          Currently Russia has about 19% of Ukraine after 10 years. They’ve lost a lot of high ranking officials, a lot of major equipment including flagship ships and aircraft and have tanked their economy and had to sell out their assholes to China. On top of that they have lost nearly 400,000 personel and had a brain drain on their economy.

          The genius minds behind Russia are very difficult to understand indeed.

          Russian incompetence is alive and well, they’ve had to double down and triple down on this all the while losing their soft power in Europe and making shit of all their connections that they honed over the last 3 decades.

          Ukraine has taken very little time in the grand scheme to come to the level of embarrassing and holding off a “world superpower”

          So much projection, so many tears.
