      I don’t think Russia is winning. I think Russia, for all intents and purposes, already won…at a cost of course.

      But I tend to filter my news by reality and sources by factuality. Most people tend to filter by wishes. So it’s normal that some would think otherwise. The other side filtering by wishes may also be thinking that the win came at a much smaller cost than reality.

        Russia is winning, that’s why they’re locking down their internet and not letting their citizens talk to each other privately.

        That’s quite a humblebrag, woven in there with your sense of self. Why did you you come on down to mingle with those who filter by wishes? A kind of intellectual disaster tour, you’re just passing through to gawk?

        First time I have seen a Russian troll in social media since the embarrassment that was the reverse advance and surrender of Russians in Kursk. You know? The 1, 000km2 patch of land taken by Ukraine in just 8 days, which took months for Russia to conquer three-quarters of the size? That invasion which Gerasimov ignored the warnings of and embarrassed Putin for complacency? That amount of that land taken by Ukrainians in just one week will not even cover up the propaganda which you call “news by reality and sources by actuality”. You call that winning? As we speak, Russia redeployed some if its troops from Eastern Ukraine to Kursk.

        Edit: corrected the figures
