Reply to comment by robfrod in Russia fires new waves of missiles at Ukraine and hits energy infrastructure by Rofocal07

Yeah. If they couldn't win when they had surprise, morale, and their military at its best and most trained while Ukraine didn't have much western equipment yet I don't see why anyone (including Russia) would think they could win now.

Ukraine now has a lot of western equipment and training. 1st Howitzers, then HIMARS, and now they are getting tanks. Ukraine is only getting stronger, better equipment, and better weapon systems.

It should be simple to see the outcome of this war with anyone who isn't completely blinded by bias.

might not be bias, if Putin is forced to admit defeat and lose Crimea hed probably be the next guy falling out a window, the only thing he can do is keep the war going to appear strong and pray that attrition favours russia

Russia truly losing this war in the official sense would cause another revolutionary wave - even if definitely much smaller.

Belarus, Hungary, Iran, Serbia, and North Korea would lose a major ally or even direct sponsor.

The right wing wave would lose C3 and even a source of cash (so C4? lol).

can you describe what a loss by russia would actually look like?

"putin gets overthrown" doesn't tell me what we will see (other than a putin coffin).
