We're talking about manpower here. It literally takes years to train an effective tank crew for example. If Russia was losing troops and equipment at the rate you imagine, then they'd be out of trained soldiers real fast.

How you can consider a two year war where none of the original goals have been met a success is beyond me.

What goals weren't met, please cite goals that Russia set that aren't being met.

But by all means. Keep cheering on Putin sending his people into a meat grinder in his pathetic 20th century war of conquest.

By all means keep believing nonsense if that helps you cope.

Taking over the whole country in 3 days of course. I know this to be true because the media says it is.
