  1.  @michaelwu9450  Oh, in Russia there are a lot of anecdotes about Crimean War. As example how British admiral Price shot self when discovered that Russians awaits invaders and already prepared (Kamehameha III, king of of Hawaii, notified Russia about movements of this squadron, about amount of people, ships, weapons, etc — British-French navy squadron was sent to Far East, not only to Crimea). Crimea War is one one the most popular topic in Russia. Example of incredible bravery. On Russian banknotes (200 rubles, one of the most popular banknote) you can see as main picture — monument to ships which defended Crimea and were sunk. This monument was built in 1905, in honor of 50 years of that war. One of the most famous symbol in Russia, it is not known outside of country, but internally by popularity is equal to Kremlin. A lot of Russian military awards have names of commanders who fought in Crimea. Names of streets, military schools, etc :)

  2.  @willt2036  You even don’t understand what Russia doing. Explain, how you understand “defeat”? — Erase all cities like you did? With all people inside? With easy, in less than hour, with conventional weapons. And what to do after? 😂 It is territories which Russia perceive as own. What the point to do it on own territory? If this will happens, then it will be your cities. — To remove leaders? What the point? Okey, there are no leaders, as result no battles, all returns back to homes? But they declares WW2 criminals as own heroes (in West they ignoring this fact, while in Russia it is most important reason for everything). It means they must continue to fight. As more they fight, the less of them will left. And that’s why leaders must be in safety. Already near one million of them is wiped out. Half of population ran away from country (forever). And this is perfect situation. Open map, Russian forces almost surround all country, but battles only in limited zone. Now you know why. There are a bunch of other reasons of course. As example after 1991 in Russian elites arrived a lot of pro-westerns. Now in Russia is going “purges” of them. But it is not so easy process, you can’t just fire a lot of people — where to find replacement, not just ordinary people (like Sunak, British PM who is dreaming to emigrate to Silicon Valley and don’t care about England at all), but real patriots, more —fanatics? So, Russia launched state program, it take best soldiers/commanders from this military campaign and send to public administration courses and then assign on misc positions in state. It is new Russian political elite. New elites for at least next 50 years, people who fight there. Pretty cool idea, isn’t it? And for it you also have no reasons to finish everything fast. In general there are no any reasons to hurry up :) So?
