    Dear Pope: Direct your fucking comments to the guy who is invading Ukraine. Thanks.

        Yeah, they have failed to take hold of much of Ukraine in 10 years of invading. Even less in the last 2 amd change.

        They did manage to lose 300,000+ directly in the war and more that fled their shithole country.

        Russia is a loser country.

                  If Russia loses I would 100% be proud to admit I was wrong. That’s what makes me different than you.

                  The problem is that I’m right and Ukraine doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning without foreign troops on the ground.

                    Heh, “doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell” is a double negative.

                Wrong about what, even if they succeed they sicceed in being the villain and theirnsuccess is tainted by their huge losses.

                They have lost so much of their navy and airforce, not to mention ground force. They have shown themselves to be completely inept at the highest levels and have cost their population dearly.

                They are winning so wel they won’t allow thei citizens the right to free travel or protest. They have had to pivot their entire economy and have suffered a complete brain drain.

                They are a super power who tried to take candy from a baby and ended with a black eye and bloody nose. Even if they succeed in land grabbing, their inability to act effectively won’t be forgotten.

        So, how do Putin’s balls taste? Never mind, I don’t actually want to know…

          Yes. Putin’s gambit of waiting out the West is paying off in spades.

          Just another example of him being smarter than the average reddit/lemmyer. You guys legitimately believe whatever is upvoted is correct, and that’s sad.

            Has it been two weeks since the war started already?
