Yup. The truth is that they have been at war for 3.5 years now, with the goal of taking the entirety of the Ukraine, and to this point have not even conquered 20% of Ukraine, whom they outgun and outman many times over.
This was not supposed to be a long campaign, maybe a few months at most, all the while two previously neutral countries have joined NATO, they've been frozen from the international financial system, their currency suspended from trading on the global market, with other countries looking to join NATO.
Looking at this as anything other than an absolute failure is delusional. Putin even knows this is so unpopular in Russia that he relies on convicts, sandniggers from their periphery, and Norks to fight the war.
This is an unmitigated disaster for Russia.
