One sentence in and it's complete horse shit. The predictions across the board, among commentators and intelligence agencies, was that Kiev would fold within the first week. The effectiveness of ATGMs, drones, and a reversion to attritional warfare has taken everyone by surprise.
Now a gaggle of old men with a trickle of nato supplies are managing to fend off the "might" of the entire russian empire. The patriot has proven to be capable of shooting down anything, including the much vaunted kinzhal. So the only way the russians advance is in the wake of artillery saturation, turning everything into another Grozny. Which must be a real blow to morale because then there's hardly any toilets or washing machines left for them to steal.
The whole thing is a fucking humanitarian disaster. Millions of ukrainian and russian lives thrown away for nothing. Putin has killed both countries.
