>>8031635I'll bite because I cant help myself. Loosing is a relative term. Russia is paying a FAR FAR FAR heavier cost for the strips of land they have taken, and if the war froze today they might actually be in the red all things considered, but they are all in and can consistantly keep slugging away for a long time, Ukraine can't without major help. The west has been helping but might not do it forever and haven't ever given enough to turn the tide in their favor. The moment support wavers, the Ukraine has to stop fighting. Conversely, if western aid kicks up a solid notch (lets try out a few f35 runs for funsies! or at least give Ukraine more than a handful of any given thing) the tide turns. So...is Russia loosing? I dunno.
