    Sorry that the truth hurts. Russia is attacking power infrastructure because they are stuck on the front and are running out of options. they are unable to fend off ukranian attacks because 4 bil worth of air defense systems have been destroyed.

    And this crap is all part of it

          Wanting something enough to make it reality only works in fiction written by idealists.

          How? Russia is making steady gains in territory, and has the far larger industrial capacity. In an attrition war, the side that can better field long-term fighting wins. What do you expect the outcome to be? Russia pulling out entirely?

            Money, people willing to go to the front.

            Putin will loose his position of power. Its the only logical outcome coming from a revolting poplulus

              200,000 people are estimated to have gone AWOL in Ukraine, many fleeing to Belarus. Russia faces no such issue presently. The nationalists in charge of Russia are indeed losing in power, but to the communists, who support Russia in the war effort, not to the pro-western liberals. The Russian populace is relatively united in support for the war, where its split is in retaining their oligarchic system of capitalism or transitioning back to socialism. Further, the gap between the nationalists and the CPRF is still wide enough that there isn’t an immediate threat of revolution.

                And yet with all these AWOL russia is still barely able to gain ground. When the soldiers stop recieving pay or the famlies dont recieve anything throughout the year the tone will change. St Petersberg is covered in shit, who knows how many other cities have seen the same catastrophic failures of the sewage systems.

                Honestly its sad to see

                  And yet Kiev is doing worse, and is losing ground steadily, with an increasingly unpopular war effort. Again, how do you see Kiev winning? What does that look like?

                    $4 billion in air defenses destroyed by Ukraine, and the functioning air defenses just hit a russian apartment building.

                    Probably another soviet style collapse where there are a bunch of countries made from one big one and Pootin, Mr 5’1" who stands on stuff to look taller, gets the shit kicked out of em in Moscow

                  St Petersberg is covered in shit, who knows how many other cities have seen the same catastrophic failures of the sewage systems.

                  The sewage plant is back online since last week.

            They won’t. They’ll memory hole it just like all the other claims of imminent Russian defeat over the past four years
