Ukraine destroyed the Kotovsk Wildberries distribution center in Tambov. Ukraine also knocked offline the Kstovo refinery with a drone strike. The CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow to personally give a message to his FSB counterparts that an attack on a NATO country this month would be a mistake.

western and ukrainian media been saying russia collapsing, Ukraine winning, for 4 years

This really just indicates you don't read any western media. Because, no, that is not what they have looked like the past 4 years at all.

This guy may have been saying it, I'm not sure, but he's just a guy on youtube, he can say whatever he wants. If people want to get their information from a guy on youtube, that's up to them.

    'The beginning of the end of Putin. 2012/03/03' https://www.economist.com/leaders/2012/03/03/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-putin 14 years has passed. but nothing happened to him. this is my point.

    When you quote, you need to have an empty line after the quote before you write your response to it.
    The way you do it, your response is part of the quote.

    Apart from that your example is anecdotal, and the current war officially started February 22 2022. It's posted in the numbers here every day. This is the official start date of the war. The conflict however dates back further, at a minimum to when Russia invaded and took Crimea.

    And an anecdote does not disprove that there especially early on were few that believed that Ukraine could resist Russia for long. There were many that claimed Ukraine should just give up, because resistance was meaningless.

    Personally I believed Ukraine would win already pretty early on, as the Russian blatant incompetence quickly became very clear. And the long columns froze and were sitting ducks, and paratroopers were shut down over Kiev. So Russia failed completely in taking Kiev, which was supposed to fall already within the first couple of days to Russian overwhelming pressure.

    14 years has passed. but nothing happened to him. this is my point.

    I'm not sure what that point is exactly? Who do you think should remove him? Russians were happy with Putin until very recently.
    And it's against international law for a foreign power to do it.

    because resistance was meaningless. I know that Ukrainians are good fighters, and Russians underestimate Ukrainians.

    Who do you think should remove him? Some Western media imply that.

    And it’s against international law for a foreign power to do it. U.S. doesn't follow international law; if it could, it would do it, as it tried at Iran, but it couldn't.

    Anyway. I will collapse of Russia and U.S

    U.S. doesn’t follow international law;

    I think this is your own comment you for some reason attached to a quote of me.
    But you are right, USA is not following international law, and that's a huge problem, because they are the rules we are supposed to play by. And if China and USA as the 2 major military and economic powers in the world don't follow international law, international law becomes almost meaningless. And the rest of the world is screwed.
