so brave
Americans will cheer on the collapse of their empire cloaked in the flag, a hand on their heads and a tear in their eyes.
Death to USA, death to Israel, death to NATO and fuck Europe
I'm so glad they finally did it because we'll finally be able to put the narrative that Ukraine is losing because additional 61 billions wasn't allocated to bed.
It will also destroy the last credibility US financial system have, piss off Russian capitalists and make them invest in the west even less. Win/win/win.
Worse part is that will give maidan regime some more time to push even more Ukrainians into the grinder.
basically
Two years, hundreds of thousands of casualties, tens of thousands of equipment losses and burning through Russia’s future generation and financial reserve
‘Winning’.
Imagine still guzzling propaganda uncritically after two whole years. If any of this was true, Russia would've collapsed long ago as the west was hoping.
LMFAO using oryx as proof of anything, these clowns have been completely discredited and yet here we have you still guzzling propaganda out of a firehose. https://archive.ph/a1ID3
Visually confirming thousands of destroyed pieces of equipment while avoiding duplicates is hard and mistakes will be made. They're corrected as they're found.
You're happily felching Kremlin propaganda.
Yes, visually confirming the same pieces of equipment over to convince gullible people of what they already want to believe. My favorite part about oryx is how they stopped reporting losses once Ukraine ran out of old Soviet equipment that they couldn't pass off as Russian losses. All of a sudden when Ukraine started using primarily western equipment, oryx decided it was time to step away. 😂
If these figures had any basis in reality, Russia would've collapsed a long time ago. The fact that you genuinely believe that Russia lost tens of thousands of pieces of military hardware along with the trained troops that operated them, and it's still somehow winning shows that you're utterly incapable of rational thought.
Russia had the equipment (and a lot more) to lose. It’s quite realistic.
How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.
Russia has paid an enormous cost for very little in the way of gains. They haven’t even regained the land they retreated from in 2022.
But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.

We're talking about manpower here. It literally takes years to train an effective tank crew for example. If Russia was losing troops and equipment at the rate you imagine, then they'd be out of trained soldiers real fast.

What goals weren't met, please cite goals that Russia set that aren't being met.
But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.
By all means keep believing nonsense if that helps you cope.
unlock billions in frozen Russian assets "Ah they're finally returning what they've stole-" for Ukraine
... [exasperated swearing in eldritch tongue]
"The Russians were surprised when, right after the war started, the Europeans took the exact same measures as the United States, freezing all of the reserves that were there, and the Japanese did the same, which is why most of Russia’s reserves today are frozen in Western banks"
Russia on the worldstage, lol: https://youtu.be/FIc_eKkMJVo
