Trolls & bots fail to understand or accept that Russia is anything but infinite and inevitable - but numbers are numbers. They’ve spent half of their entire Soviet inheritance to steal what they sit on today. The war doesn’t end when they get to zero vehicles. The half they’ve squandered is surely the BETTER half, and they still need an army for territorial defense and internal repression. Ukraine is not about the break, and this is probably the best position Russia is ever going to be in. This is the endgame of this messy, abusive Divorce, and Pootz has to come up with some whopper lies to say it was all worthwhile.
It’s your observable track record that makes it easy. When contemplating an argument with strangers, it’s helpful to know if it’s worthwhile. That there’s a person who would say something interesting.
It’s also painfully cringe to read garden variety snark like “hurr durr, russia is about to implode, guys! I swear”. Great. Never see those high value responses.
