      Russia is 5x the size of Ukraine, and called itself the 2nd most powerful army on the planet.

      Now it's the second most powerful army in Ukraine.

      You're bragging after they got their ass handed to them by their version of Canadians.

          That's not even close to true, unless you count civilians, which isn't surprising because they're literally fighting in their country.

          So yes, be proud, Russia has butchered more civilians!

        Russia is 5x the size of Ukraine,

        Consider how much of that is just tundra.

      Well by the conditions the russian federation placed 18 months ago would mean that yes Ukraine is winning. The fact the front lines are static does not mean what you think it does.

        And what were those conditions Russia stated as its aims at the beginning of the war?

            That was never a stated (or likely even an unstated) goal of Russia.

              Yes it was stated many times. The broadcasts should still be around if you want to check.

                why should I give one shit about what russians goals where at the start of the war, the reality is its a meat grinder and the location of said meat grinder requires ukraine to move through it to advance, russia are setting the terms of this conflict and are in control.

                  Why have you gave one shit indeed, its not like that was the whole reason to invade or anything.

                  According to the stated russian objectives they have already lost this conflict, time will tell if Ukraine also looses.

                    I dont care about either sides goals because im not naive enough to buy into military propoganda, which the goals are.

                    During a war nothing either side says matters, you fatally misunderstand what happens to the media when a war breaks out, it just becomes another instrument of war, and as such nothing can be trusted but the satalite footage of where the war is and boots on the ground reports of people there, everything else is bullshit.
