    When the invading forces goes back to their country, this will be over. Also, it’s too strategically efficient to let Russian use its resources in Ukraine. Politics and morality aside this is an opportunity of a lifetime for western counties. Russia has already lost 1/3 of its armor, and what they have left is antique. It’s a real cone true for neocons.

      The west is losing this war, but western media managed to convince a lot of ignorant westerners that things are going great. Once this offensive burns itself out, there are no more weapons to give because the west destroyed its industrial base and moved it to places like China. Russia on the other hand still has its industry that it inherited from USSR.

      Russia spent over half a year depleting Ukrainian air defence with a huge missile campaign, building layered defence fortifications, and preparing half a million troops to hold off the offensive that Ukraine is now attempting. The offensive is going so badly that even western media now openly admits it https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/22/politics/ukraine-counteroffensive-western-assessment/index.html

      The original plan was for Ukraine to make a major breakthrough within the first 24 hours or it was going to be game over https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/04/18/ukraine-russia-war-counteroffensive-attack-bakhmut-himars/

      It’s been three weeks, and Ukraine hasn’t reached the first line of defence yet

      Russia turned this into a war of attrition, and that plays in Russia’s favor. Don’t take my word for it though. Here’s what U.S. Lt. Col. Alex Vershinin retired after 20 years of service, including eight years as an armor officer with four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and 12 years working as a modeling and simulations officer in NATO and U.S. Army concept development and experimentation had to say:

      Finally, if Russia actually started losing then China would step in. China realizes that they’re next, and Russia acts as a shield for them in the west, and it provides them with the resources they need. China’s industrial base absolutely dwarfs anything that the west has.

        Lol @ China.

        China doesn’t give two shits about Russia. And China is addicted to western consumerism. They’re just happy to benefit from the demise of Russia as anyone else. China is going to fuck off, like they have this whole time.

              I gave you a long and detailed explanation and you responded with utter nonsense, now you’re accusing me of not wanting to have a meaningful discussion. 🤡

                Dude. You gave me detailed nonsense. China isn’t coming to save Russia because Russian failed to conquer a tiny country in Europe. What an embarrassment. China will never come to the aide of Russia in Ukraine. Not a fucking chance. China isn’t as stupid as the hope your desperation and delusions give you.

                  The fact that you don’t understand why Russia is important to China clearly demonstrates that you have absolutely no clue. You’re like a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect. In any case, I don’t have to convince you of anything. You’ll be seeing how things develop soon enough, so keep acting all smug while you can little buddy.

                    You, of all the people I’ve seen on the internet, calling anyone smug is comical

                    Don’t let me keep you distracted, digital warrior. Go ban some non believers in your special space.
