I have not even thought about the war in weeks, and randomly catch myself remembering that it’s actually still ongoing.

    Is it going badly for them? I really don’t know what to make of this conflict. I know Western propaganda is bullshit, but it seems utterly baffling to me that Russia is having so many problems domestically concerning the war.

      It’s a war, there’s bound to be some fuckups. Look at lis like that:

      1. Russia send way to little soldiers to this war.
      2. They aren’t fighting just Ukraine, they are fighting Ukraine plus military production and intelligence of entire fucking NATO.
      3. Time currently works for the Russia, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they were dragging this on purposefully. Europe bleeds with sanctions, seams are showing in the NATO and Russian economy is actually strenghtening with shedding the vestiges of yeltsinism and decoupling from the west.
      4. They are really delicate with this war. Only after Ukraine perpetrated multiple terrorist attacks Russia started to attack their infrastructure and it’s still nowhere comparable to the absolute destruction of USA shock & awe docrine.

        I figured as much, thanks. Naturally I don’t take what the Western media says as gospel, but the reports of contentions amongst Russian officials themselves was what surprised me.
