  1. yep its losing the war lets see the reasons: 1. Russia's performance in 2024 is a D, less than satifactory, Russians throughout 2024 captured land area in UKraine 1 percent the country , the size of Luxembourg or Rhode Island New York while suffering 400K casualties. The front has not changed much. and the Russians suffered massive casualties roughly around 3 times more on avearage than the Ukrainians. and the Ukrainians are still fighting hard and have not collapsed. the Russians have not inflicted a strategic operational defeat on the Ukrainains. 2. Ukraine's Kursk offensive captured an area the size of Los angeles in two weeks. in 5 months the Russians recaptured roughly half that territory or an area the size of Denver CO. while suffering 40K casualties. The Ukrainians are still fighting hard and have done counteroffensives, also the Russians had to beg the NOrth Koreans for help to try to evict the Ukrainians from Kursk. a month now after North Korean troop deployments and they reportedly suffered 4K casualties. 3. Ukrainians are drone and missle bombing Russian oil refiniries, ammo depots and factories in Russia itself and the so called vaunted Russian air defense systems seemlingly cannot shoot down Ukrainian drones, 4. Russian economy is starting to break, rising food prices, high inflation rates, 5. Ukrainians significnatly helped Syrian rebels oust Assad and crucial Russian ally. 6. Reportedly 60 percent of Russian artillery ammo and 30 percent of Russian missles are north korean made. and of all this, Russian elites are reportedly mad at Putin with many Russian military leaders wanting to escalate the war even further with a general mobilizaiton of the populace . If Putin does a general mobilization and war is still a bloody stalemate, that will be the beginning of the end for Putin, just like the Czar Nicholas II of Russia back in 1917 lost his crown due to a failed unpopular war.
