How? Russia is making steady gains in territory, and has the far larger industrial capacity. In an attrition war, the side that can better field long-term fighting wins. What do you expect the outcome to be? Russia pulling out entirely?
200,000 people are estimated to have gone AWOL in Ukraine, many fleeing to Belarus. Russia faces no such issue presently. The nationalists in charge of Russia are indeed losing in power, but to the communists, who support Russia in the war effort, not to the pro-western liberals. The Russian populace is relatively united in support for the war, where its split is in retaining their oligarchic system of capitalism or transitioning back to socialism. Further, the gap between the nationalists and the CPRF is still wide enough that there isn’t an immediate threat of revolution.
And yet with all these AWOL russia is still barely able to gain ground. When the soldiers stop recieving pay or the famlies dont recieve anything throughout the year the tone will change. St Petersberg is covered in shit, who knows how many other cities have seen the same catastrophic failures of the sewage systems.
And yet Kiev is doing worse, and is losing ground steadily, with an increasingly unpopular war effort. Again, how do you see Kiev winning? What does that look like?
$4 billion in air defenses destroyed by Ukraine, and the functioning air defenses just hit a russian apartment building.
Probably another soviet style collapse where there are a bunch of countries made from one big one and Pootin, Mr 5’1" who stands on stuff to look taller, gets the shit kicked out of em in Moscow
It kind of sounds like rather than constructing an overall picture of the war, you’ve woven together a quilt of the most carefully selected and unflattering vignettes that western media has been able to produce, and extrapolated baselessly from that. I expect Ukraine’s surrender will come as a shock to you.
This isn’t material reality, though. Kiev is fighting back, but is losing, both in terms of ground and those willing to fight. NATO does not have the industrial capacity to continue fielding the war, and the war itself is increasingly unpopular in western Ukraine. By focusing on what damage Kiev has succeeded in dealing, you’re turning a blind eye to conditions within western Ukraine itself, where the material reality is steady and consistent loss.
There’s no sign of the Russian Federation breaking up. The population is, as I said, relatively united in support for the war. The two major factions, the nationalists and the communists, agree seemingly only on continuing the war. Putin’s still popular enough that the idea that there will be a collapse is closer to fantasy than material analysis.
As a side-note, the USSR was several countries united, it was a multinational federation, not one big country.
So you think Russia is losing?
We know it is.
Wanting something enough to make it reality only works in fiction written by idealists.
I see liberals are manifesting again
Lol, you losers have been saying Russia is about to lose for 4 years

Money, people willing to go to the front.
Putin will loose his position of power. Its the only logical outcome coming from a revolting poplulus

Honestly its sad to see

The sewage plant is back online since last week.
And yet the streets are still covered in shit
Are you using a metaphor to describe the contents of your mind here?
Ok, remember this prediction
They won’t. They’ll memory hole it just like all the other claims of imminent Russian defeat over the past four years
