pyyrhicov of epirugrand  > russia wins ukraine you did it, congratulation. now what? your economy is in the shitter and blacklisted. you're sanctioned up the ass by the entire west dealing with out of control inflation. you lost over 2 million young workers to injuries, ptsd, or literally killed. you now have to occupy a country that will guarantee another insurgency repeating afghanistan again. you've lost credibility as a world threat by barely beating a provincial power over the course of 900 days that was supposed to be a 3 day operation.  you could win tomorrow, you could take over all of ukraine and you would still be incredibly fucked. ukraine's infrastructure is fucked, their farms are flooded, their power generation is destroyed, their population despises you and will do everything in their power to sabotage your occupation. honestly what the fuck was the plan? it's incredibly obvious this wasn't how it was supposed to go but you've quintupled down because putin doesn't want to die for his stupid mistake, that's it. it's like an entire nation acting like a dog chasing a car. putin fucked you and what's even funnier is he won't live to see the fruits of these labors anyway 20 years from now. enjoy being a vassal state to china when those massive chinese loans get called to pay for all this bullshit.
