Who's winning the war in Ukraine? - Lemmygrad
lemmygrad.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.

    Someone in the thread reccomended Timothy Snyder as a source

    Even wikipedia cant hide how much of a hack this guy is;

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Earth_(book)

    Critical reception

    The book began to excite controversy as soon as it was published.[1] It received a mixed review by historian Richard J. Evans in The Guardian.[3] Political commentator Helen Andrews writing in First Things gave it a mostly negative review.[4]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Snyder#Bloodlands

    Omer Bartov wrote that “the book presents no new evidence and makes no new arguments”,[28] and in a highly critical review Richard Evans wrote that, because of its lack of causal argument, “Snyder’s book is of no use”, and that Snyder “hasn’t really mastered the voluminous literature on Hitler’s Germany”, which “leads him into error in a number of places” regarding the politics of Nazi Germany
