    I still remember telling people when this war broke out that it wasn’t going to go well for Ukraine

    They pointed to the early strife and went “Ha! These foolish Russians can’t take over a whole country in a month, epic Ukrainian victory is assured!”

    Meanwhile, I bit my tongue because I knew they wouldn’t accept the fact that the early Ukrainian strategy was going to drain them over the long term

    USAans are so divorced from the reality of actual warfare, they don’t understand logistics, they don’t understand maintaining an actual fighting force, they just don’t understand that you don’t just win by blowing up a whole lot of stuff real fast

    So of course, they’re mighty quiet this year
