When has it not been in a free fall? But it's still hanging in there.

Every single “source given” just links back to articles from the same “news source”. Yeah, really reliable article. About as reliable as Fox News….

That's why Putin commanded Trump to put an end to Ukraine STAT.

That seems like exactly the kind of scene where Donald Trump likes to appear and cheer for the losing side

If the US weren't helping Russia by giving them a lifeline, this war would probably be over this year.

Russia has been increasing trade with China in the past few years. I'm afraid that, even without US support now, Russia would still be able to carry on for a while longer :(

Russia can only keep up this pace of operations for 6 months to 1 year at most and that's it.

So then you have 3 years of war, at the expense of your own economy, at the expense of your own population, at the expense of a million dead, and you conquered only 20% of Ukraine.

That's it, then the manpower runs out. Russia is already arriving with tanks coming from the year 1955.

Ukraine is also able to produce 40% what they need themselves right now. They have 1.4 million drones, they have 2 factories of rare metal in Ukraine that produces munitions, more than america produces now, and Ukraine's production is only going to get more. So it's also not like russia is on top here despite north korea despite all the other support. So both sides are not going well, it's a wear and tear.

I remember the warmongerers trotting these lines out at the start of fighting. 3+ years later, Russia has a big chunk of Ukraine and is steadily gaining more.
