Ukraine and Russia aren't tied.
And the nuke talk is hilarious when nothing else over there works

They're not tied but neither one is winning in any level. Maybe you can say Ukraine is taking a bigger L than the L Russia is taking. Neither one is winning

I get what you're saying. My bad
These doofus are still buying Russian oil. They just don’t buy directly from Russia.
Russia sells the oil to India & China at market price. Then they buy from mostly India & some from China at almost twice the price.
Ukraine crisis: Who is buying Russian oil and gas? - BBC News
India and China are the main buyers for oil from Russia as other major economies have shunned its energy exports.

And Qatar also recently told them that the gas they’re supplying isn’t sustainable & they would’ve to go back to buying from Russia.
Europe Will Return To Russian Gas, Says Qatar Energy Boss
European countries will eventually resume higher imports of Russian gas, Qatar's energy minister and gas company CEO predicted on Saturday, warning that market volatility could last for years.

All the politicians in Europe are basically idiots that are destroying Europe’s industrial base & economy whilst weakening their military (which is already weak) - to please American neoliberals whose eyes are fixated on plundering Russia’s huge resources that they can never get. Russia is still selling its resources & the war is helping its manufacturing base cos they’re in war time economy whilst mass producing weapons. Europe on the other hand is dying off.
The biggest winners are India, China, US (arms industry) & Russia (manufacturing). Big losers are Europe (all facets of economy, military stockpile & industries).

I wouldn't say Ukraine is winning but it shows how badly the Russian military is. The most effective Russian troops in this war are professionals/mercenaries (Wagner Group). The Russian military primarily consists of poorly trained conscripts. There's a reason why industrialized nations military consists of professional soldiers.
The days of fighting wars with draftees as your primary fighting force has been over long ago.

You get an L! And you get an L! Everybody gets an L!!!
Seriously, Russia made the block hot for absolutely no reason. Ukraine ain't worth getting half of the world mad. There's no profit to be made for them.
Ukraine got bombed and invaded. Hard to call it a W.
Of course, some people will manage to make some money out of it, but at large. this is an L to everyone involved.

What do you mean by this? Can you expound?
Russia has already lost..
Even worse for Russia is the reputational damage, no army will fear them after their Ukraine debacle. They had a shyt army to begin with but Putin really exposed them fukking with Ukraine. It was so badly planned, they relied on bravado and the old supremacy they enjoyed in the region. Those days are long gone.

its kind of like Vietnam, depends on if Russia accomplishes their goal and I don't think they will fully..so I guess you can give Ukraine the win on that principle
Mister Terrific
It’s in the name
Like the US in Vietnam does Russia have clearly defined goals? First it was capture Zelensky and Kyiv, maybe Odessa. Now it seems keep Donbas and Crimea? What’s the end game?

Russia really had no choice.
Ukraine has the last viable port Russia has access to use. If they lose that port, they basically become a 3rd world country overnight and specifically lose it to NATO, their opposition. They taking an L either way but this way they at least go down with a fight instead of a wimper.
Germany needs to step out of the shadow of their history without forgetting the lessons it has taught them. Germany must be feeling kinda schizophrenic right now. With that in mind, they need to tool up and bolster their ranks.
Russia is like a DBZ villain Fighting Vegeta while Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin and all the rest are standing around them in a circle in various states ofMeanwhile, Goku is tossing senzu beans down Vegeta's throat and yelling at everyone to get ready to jump in.and
Everything is stacked against Russia when you play this out.
