Forget the shills, Russia is winning on the ground in Ukraine, and it's purposefully a slow grind. The Russians know that time is on their side because (cue the memes) winter is coming and Europe will be out of natural gas to heat homes and power industry by then.
Here's why Russia is winning: Whereas Ukraine, and by extension NATO is using Small Unit Tactics, Russia is using a strategy of artillery bombardment and encirclement. Basically you're seeing what would happen if you pitted US strategy ever since the end of Vietnam vs WWII strategy of just shelling the everliving shit out of everything that moves until it's dead while simultaneously encircling the enemy and cutting them off.
The US abandoned this sort of strategy during the Vietnam war because it was an impractical strategy during that conflict due to it's asymmetrical nature. The Gulf War was a brief return, but the entirety of the War on Terror has been fought with SUT, and therefore that's what a majority of US forces have any experience with, and thus what they've taught the Ukrainians as well as NATO.
This is why NATO has been slowly backing off from supporting Ukraine nearly unconditionally to realizing they are WAY out of their depth fighting Russia. The entirety of NATO is trained and equipped to fight an asymmetrical war, and despite the technological advantage, Russia has the strategic advantage, and strategy wins wars. Sure, you can destroy a few artillery pieces with an F-35 or other advanced airplanes, but for every F-35 that the US builds, Russia can field several dozen self propelled howitzers that have a much more tangible effect on the battlefield.
Russia is fighting this war the old school way, and NATO's surgical approach to warfare can't stand up to a sledgehammer.
Even NATO's air advantage is tenuous. Despite having better aircraft, Russia has better SAM systems, and if NATO attacks in earnest, the Russians will just let NATO come and pick them apart in a war of attrition.

Russia may be "winning" but at a significant cost. What this war demonstrates is that in a few years worth of training and support by the US Ukraine is putting up a great fight against what is supposed to be a far superior aggressor. This war also show the US could wipe out Russia's conventional military in a few days or one week. The only weapon Russia has to stop a decisive US win is nuclear weapons. I am really surprised Russia has failed this hard for this long fighting their neighbor.

okay so, in the scenario that this war goes on after winter, will that mean they aren't winning?

If the US invaded Mexico and was having the same results as Russia in Ukraine would it really be something to brag about? I imagine most people would be calling the US a joke.
Camden Scott
That would be crazy if the U.S lost a war after fighting for 20 years and having 10,000 aircraft shot down by literal chink rice farmers. That would have been a wild timeline.

>forget the shills >Europe will be out of natural gas by then pick one
Julian Moore
Russia is winning because it is using the US strategy of brute force artillery against a smaller enemy with guerrilla tactics like Vietnam? Ummm I think you missed the final half of that movie

Theres a big difference when you actually share a border with a country.

But Also, Russians are ready to die for their country, how many European patriots want to die for their nigger infested land and traitor leaders?

Netherlands has an absolute shit tonne of gas but it cucked itself out of accessing it due to enviromentalist fee fees and being cheapskates to repair damages to homes (or buy them out for a decent price) due to the extraction process causing earthquakes in the area

>HAHA they didn't conquer a whole country in like a month so they're obviously losing the war, and badly I can't believe modern people are this stupid, but here we are.
it has been nearly six months and russia still doesn't have air superiority. they aren't winning anything and haven't advanced in territory. all they can do is sit there and shell because that's all they are capable of. the only advantage russia has really is that ukraine is right on their border so the logistics don't need to be that complex and even then they still fuck that up
>Sure, you can destroy a few artillery pieces with an F-35 russia isn't fighting f35s they aren't even fighting nato they are fighting ukraine and they're doing it poorly
>Russia is fighting this war the old school way, and NATO's surgical approach to warfare can't stand up to a sledgehammer. which is why it's losing. russia has demonstrated that it's incapable of combined arms. you are not a serious military if all you can do is shell ground from the safety of your borders

how much humiliation can Russia endure?

Caught you newfag. You have to lurk more for 10 years or go back

It proves that most people are retards and accept disguised austerity if it's because of a "war".
