    Yep, Ukraine is a big place, and the Russians are (or at least were) advancing 30km/day. That means, for example, it'll take a week or two to get from the eastern border to the river even if you faced no opposition. Screw "is Russia doing well or not", Putin physically could not have won by now without teleportation magic or a bombing campaign of the same magnitude as Vietnam

      Exactly, even taking yknow, yknow, actual fighting out of the mix entirely, armies move slower than your sedan cause it's several vehicles and people moving in strategic unison so they don't get killed. And the overall goal doesn't seem to be to drop napalm on people until they abandon communism so Vietnam shit doesn't really help your goals. Wars can be fought to force a surrender, not to permanently brutalize a nation. You can accept Japan's conditional surrender and not bomb Hiroshima for example.

      The State Department predicted Kiev would fall in 96 hours, so Ukraine is actually dominating the Asiatic Mongol horde invaders and sending Muslim orcs to hell.
