      Until very recently, I’d have called it a stalemate. I don’t think any side can be described as “winning” right now.

      It’s hard to know…

      But don’t forget that Russia thought they’d seize Ukraine quickly. They haven’t. Even if they “win”, it will be a shit show and they won’t be able to keep it

      I also have a Russian coworker who joined the Company after the war and he was embarrassed about Russia. I seriously doubt most of their soldiers are motivated to fight

      Don’t listen to them.

      political propaganda is extremely effective and it’s impossible to make out the from the noise.

      Near as I can tell Ukraine was losing fairly badly and the invasion was a last ditch effort that nobody wanted, although they are still backed by NATO and they won’t lose until they let them but Russia has an almost endless supply of Troops and equipment so they will lose eventually unless the war gets too embarrassing or it risks going Nuclear.

        As a US SSBN submariner - bring it. Give me one good reason to set 1SQ and let these birds fly. I dare you.
