I remember back in April there were a lot of people here convinced that Ukraine was already beaten and the news was covering it up.

Spoiler alert, Russia's army is a cesspool of incompetence and corruption. I feel bad for their soldiers. Forced into the military, terribly paid, poorly trained and using equipment from the 70s.

I am not sure how this is going to end but it certainly won't be the way Russia thought it would months ago. They claimed they wanted to stop the bloodshed that has been going on since 2014, demilitarize Ukraine and "denazify" it. Instead, tens of thousands are dead on both sides, the Ukraine is one of the most militarized countries on earth and the Nazi element of their military has been elevated to the status of national heroes.
