[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I don’t think he is with the Russians Well he has used Russian talking points a lot. Including here where he argues that Ukraine defending themselves would be an escalation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] halvar@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I belive so too. You know why? Because a war never ends with the weaker side bombing a military unit of the stronger. Lot of people say this would be like Pearl Harbor. Did Pearl Harbor win WW2 for the Japanese? Before you ask, Russia is nowhere as strong as we thought before the war, but if someone says Ukraine is stronger, they are clearly out of their minds. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* For Ukraine to win Russia just needs to go home, Russia left Afghanistan who were way more ill equipped, and they will leave Ukraine. The reason you have heard the tide is turning many times, is because it has happened continuously since the beginning. Russia attempted a blitz against Ukraine, but failed, and lost territories they gained already early on. They also lost Kherson, and now they are losing on the retracted fronts too, both in the east and south. The Russian army has only lost and hasn't gained ground for a year now. The only place Russia gained a little bit, was Bakhmut, and that was Wagner and not the Russian army. Wagner is dysfunctional now, another loss for Russia due to internal disagreements. permalink fedilink source parent
