Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

I never admitted anywhere Russia is failing even in the tiniest sliver amounts. My assumption of Russia's allies teaming up is in response to NATO countries themselves ganging up on Russia as the next step, since NATO's weapons via their Ukraine proxy war have utterly and completely failed to the point a banned weapon like cluster bomb was sent by USA.

NATO is desperate and will pull any stops before they let their empire collapse beyond recovery for the next millenia and beyond. Cluster bombs is first, NATO countries themselves attempting invasion is second and nukes follow that. NATO (and US' Dick Cheney) have made it clear on occasions their goal is to Balkanise Russia.

You just said they really don't have a chance without some weird conglomeration of the other countries. So yeah you did. Also Russia is the invader. You call it a proxy war and at this point it has turned into one. But it's 100% on Russia. Russia is weak. Everyone thought Russia was the big guy on the field and it turns out they're not. China may be although they haven't fought a war in a long time so who knows what they can actually do. But it's very evident now that Russia was not nearly as strong as everyone thought they were.

If Russia was weak, NATO would not be masturbating itself over Wagner Group under Prigozhin claiming to assassinate Putin. This is how weak NATO is, relying on enemy to kill themself, because they have zero capabilities. NATO is just a tiger at their home, outside of their home they become a little chihuahua pupper.

lol no, Russia is just plain weak. They just have nukes. They have a nuclear deterrent. That's it. They're weak. You can do whatever mental gymnastics you need to to keep convincing yourself but in the end Russia is weak.

You can keep inventing rational to delude yourself. It will not change reality. Anglos were never strong, which is why they needed the help of Russia and China to get rid of Hitler, and why is why west countries will now face their worst times after being unable to plunder and exploit others for centuries.

lol you're just an idiot. Present day, present time, buddy. Russia is weak, and you're argument is weaker than they are.

It is nice to be able to spot clowns on internet from the way they talk. Blocked.
