    Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.

    How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.

    Russia has paid an enormous cost for very little in the way of gains. They haven’t even regained the land they retreated from in 2022.

    But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.

      We’re talking about manpower here. It literally takes years to train an effective tank crew for example. If Russia was losing troops and equipment at the rate you imagine, then they’d be out of trained soldiers real fast.

      What goals weren’t met, please cite goals that Russia set that aren’t being met.

      By all means keep believing nonsense if that helps you cope.
