    Preposterous! There’s no point in imagining it because Good Guys don’t lose, good guys never lose! I have extensive education in military history: I watched all the movies about D-Day and the Western Front and Midway, and I’ve seen every single episode of G.I. Joe. Good guys always win in the long run!

      Don’t forget the 100% accurate film Enemy at the Gates, and the Soviet missions in the Call of Duty games, which make you an expert on the USSR’s military contribution to WWII.

    Obviously to even suggest that the war will end in anything but the total surrender of Russia to the United States NATO Ukraine is total Putin propaganda. The audacity of this person to even suggest it! The entire site should be blacklisted in the name of freedom.

    I have it on good authority that by this time next week, Russia will be surrendering. Incidentally, China will also collapse on the same day.

        Vietnam had a righteous cause to fight for. Ukraine meanwhile is fighting to be a fascist puppet of the USA.

        Vietnam doesn’t share a land border with the USA nor were they fighting a conventional war.

          Neither was Iraq though. Yet they managed to destroy it nonetheless. Either way It’s more complex than the size of the countries involved, especially in modern warfare.

            The US’s goal was to occupy the country, annex its natural resources, and rebuild the country with private contractors. These are not the goals of Russia in Ukraine

      By that logic, Russia should have annexed Ukraine by now.

    Sooner or later, I don’t see how this will end in anything other than a Russian victory. I can’t wait to see the look on neoliberal faces.

      I mean, there’s still plenty of people claiming that US had won in Afghanistan, Iraq, even Vietnam.

      On the other hand, the powers that be seem pretty darn dedicated to prolonging this slaughter as long as humanely possible, and to hell with escalation

      It will be another “if only there was even more money and tech magic thrown into the pit it would have been a win” cope

      Wine cave warriors can’t accept defeat. They just find a new angle to be condescending and look down on others.
