    War is normally a slow process. In historical terms Ukraine is making good progress… it is mostly fiction where wars are one in a couple days.

        There have been a lot of exceptions. However the majority of wars are longer as if you don’t think you can win surrender terms are generally better than death.

        Sure, if you fight in the middle of the desert with little cover and no mud, progress is fast once you cut through the defensive lines. Vs fighting in mud and forests.

      Western people are funny to say the least, i dont know why, if it has something to do if the fact u guys always lived in such a privileged position that u can live in a fantasy world.

      Try to be pragmatic. I never said it had to be quick, I never said this is unwinnable right now, I just said that makes no sense for the Russians to accept this terms right now, and Ukrainians are not stupid, they know this. Or were u expecting putin to wake up this morning feeling bad for what he have done and just move his troops out of Ukraine?
