    Everything written about this conflict (by anyone) is propaganda. The enemy is a powerful and maximally oppressive force we all need to fear, but is also so weak it’s losing equipment fast and its final defeat is only a matter of time.

      I was told that russia was bankrupt and the war would be over in 3 months. And then when that wagner guy revolted, it was the final nail in the coffin

      Yet here we are and the war is still on.

        It’s not our fault you have been badly informed.

        Everyone knows the russian economy is on the ropes for example, but when will it crack? No one knows.

        when that wagner guy revolted, it was the final nail in the coffin

        What was crazy during the Wagner Revolt was the intransigence of the Ukraine line.

        You’d think that would be the moment for a full press by Ukraine troops over a lightly defended border. But no… they just stayed put and watched Prigovian flounder.
