But Russia is winning, the map is being painted red, his sacrifice won't be forgotten and his family will get benefits...
Or is it? The reality is this slow retreat on Ukraine's part has ensured Russia keeps sacrificing all sort of assets for diminishing returns, first their professional army, then their contracts with the west, after that its sphere of influence in Asia, the people from its buffer territories, the central bank reserves, its economy, they burned through thousands of military vehicles, all to grab the sort of land they already had in abundance but couldn't exploit due their own incompetence to develop civilian technologies.
That suicide attempt, a mobik blowing his hand, guts and testicles, expresses perfectly this entire SMO.
