but are you prepared to laugh at russia's incompetence as OP does? that's where this begins.. the hubris and arrogance to ridicule a nation under what were intended to be CRUSHING sanctions-- for merely persisting and succeeding in their efforts... what do you suppose that territory gained by russia amounts to in the way of resource wealth? 60 percent of the rare earths in ukraine are in the east and or controlled by russia- if early peace talks were successful, ukraine would be more whole than it is- and as long as it continues, it will likely lose more ground.. that is my prediction anyway.

Yeah, the arrogance. Imagine the gall for us to be sending rockets and drones into their apartment buildings and power stations, and then giving them haughty lectures about peace and our urgent need for "security." I wish the US weren't doing that. It sure is a war crime, and something we should stop doing.
yes it was hubris and arrogance that created the conditions for the war, and hubris and arrogance that prevent it from ending sooner. and denial -- more than you can believe!
My guy you sound like Skeletor
the more than you believe is lifted off of a meme-tier pep guardiola's post match talk.. but close enough
What I believe is lifted from specific sources. I made sure to cite them and made what I thought was a relevant point about where the arrogance and violence in the equation is coming from. Not that you're wrong (and especially if you wanted to talk about how the West doesn't really care about Ukraine all that much or their suffering), but you're missing a more important point.
