I remember users at another thread being very cheerful whenever Ukraine launched a major offensive with ending up with the Russians taking shit back and now we have Zelensky talking about ceding land and the White House telling Ukraine to make the mobilization law say 18 years old with blinken yesterday saying Ukraine needs to send younger people.
Both antis and pros on both Ukraine war threads know the Russians being masters at retreating well enough whenever the situation called for it. Yet they still remain in their naval and air bases continuing with bombs and missile strikes. I am sure they had over a week to send troops to Syria if they were really in trouble. And they got more than enough troops and equipment to spar not counting the fact Russia's defense minister keeps in contact with the Iranians Turks and Iraqis. I would have truly believed the Russians were in trouble if turkey did not accept their request to send back Syria's military academy troops. This is war is already pre-planned with agreements but some are too delusional to see it
