Who's winning the war in Ukraine? (lemmy.ml)

The media won't give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that's true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it's convenience a free and democratic country.

I don't think Russia has any chance of winning. The only reason Russians are still in Ukraine is because the west is too pussy to ship the real guns.

This makes you wonder whether people benefit from this or its trully a valid strategy not to bug squash the bully cause they might go mental.

Either way, the war doesn't have to end through military or peace agreements. Russian economy seems to be ending first. As grim as that sounds but maybe that'll get Russians caring.

Russia is outperforming every single EU economy this year except for Spain and Portugal, Germany was thrown into a recession and is deindustrializing and household debt in America is at an all time high, you couldn't have posted something more removed from reality than this.

I think you forgot to close your eyes and cover your ears before commenting.

You should make an account named after someone who thinks and contributes. Maybe FidelCatstro? KarlBarx? FriedrichJingles?

I think this Meow identity is making your brain too smooth. Nobody with that haircut should be running anything IMO

What a weird comment all around.

I'll definitely keep FidelCatstro in my back pocket though.
