    Russia is definitely suffering from the sunk Moscva fallacy here.

      I imagine Putin shouting MORE like he has an endless supply of meat sacks to throw at the Jedi or something

    Update: The situation hasn’t changed.

    How is this an update? We know they’re not winning, they haven’t been winning since the start.

      Ah, but it’s all about the context.

      See, nothing was done and nothing changed, is definitely not an update.

      On the other hand, “russia lost 30’000 personell in November alone, but nothing changed” is a significant update.

    They’ve already lost what, roughly ten percent of personnel?

      I think they’ve lost about the amount of troops that Napoleon lost in Russia funnily enough.

          I wonder if Ukraine is willing to lease Snake Island for that.

    They took it literally, and really ARE trying to go fuck themselves.

    Sadly the reality is that as long as Putin has people with (mostly) both arms and legs, he’s not going to stop tossing them into the fields to die. Nobody is winning much of anything for a long time.
