@Brandon-yg7mw Its like how Germany had 'lost' by 1943 though there was still years of fighting left to do.

the speculation at the time was that it was hit by a modified Neptune missile.

@PaulV. Furthermore you talk about Russia only having 170k troops and only 6 months of preparation to be some sort of virtue when in reality its just more evidence of Russian incompetence. (Russia began its invasion in 2014 so this isn't even true, they've been preparing for a long time) Even I know you need at the minimum 3-1 advantage in personnel (preferably much more) if you want to have any hope of taking a country. and that doesn't include occupation, in which case you would need ideally more like 7-1. Russia went in halfcocked because they erroneously assumed they would be welcomed with parades as liberators. The only ground Russia has taken was during the shock of the initial invasion, since lines have stabilized Russia has lost much more then its taken.

@PaulV. To put this in perspective, imagine if the US invaded Mexico, then after 2 years, 6 figure casualties, losing over half the the territory they once occupied, trench warfare that never ends and one attempted coup the US said. "Well Mexico was preparing for this for 8 years and their army was really big. We captured Tijuana though so we aren't a complete joke." This invasion has been a disastrous humiliation for Russia no matter how you try to spin it.

@PaulV. Ukraine has received about 3% of NATO's annual military budget, mostly in the form of old stock. Ukraine has received almost none of the 'most modern' weapons. Primarily cold war relics at the end of their shelf life, not exactly unlimited resources. Moreover history didn't start last year, Russia has had a much higher military budget then Ukraine for decades. Russia squandered tens of thousands of military vehicles to accomplish next to nothing. Also if the US invaded Mexico it would be over in a couple of weeks not the multi year disaster the Russians are engaged in no aid would matter because it would be over before any help could arrive. It took the US just over 500 hours to take Iraq, and they had a much larger army then either Ukraine or Mexico and were on the other side of the world. Russia cant even take the Donbas and its a half days drive from Moscow.

Yep, early in the war there was lots of talk of 'leaving Putin an offramp.' Thats when its stated goals were denazification and demilitarization (as absurd as that is) Russia could have claimed mission accomplished and went home victorious. That went out the window with their sham referendums.
