Ukraine lost the war a year ago, you just do not want to see the truth

@Mike Resnick
So losing five territories, having 17 million people flee the country, having have a million soldiers die, having other countries provide money and weapons just to survive, all of it means that Ukraine is winning?

I am sorry to disappoint you, but Russia is outproducing NATO right now. NATO needs at least two to five years depending on what western expert you ask just to match Russia. Ukraine has been losing 7 to 1, sometimes 10 to 1 throughout this war. Do not fall for Western propaganda, which is far worse than Russian propaganda.

If your statements were true, then Russian economy would have collapsed under all the sanctions. But it turns out that Russia leap frogged over Germany this year to become the fifth economy in the world. That happened precisely because Russia has boosted all of the productions. A few more years and will surpass Japan for number four spot. There is no catching US, China, and India. And if it were a crime syndicate under Putin he would never have enjoyed between 70 to 80 percent support from Russian people, which is even acknowledged by the West.

Do not listen to Ukrainian propaganda. So far the ratio is opposite: 1 to 10. Check Douglas McGregor to start with. Millions of Ukrainians fled, most of the country's industry is down... NATO, SK would not last long without Russian resources. Russia is not along, even 7-folded its military production... Even being cornered the Russia would not loose. Like a wounded bear it will go to its last and most powerful attack: do not forget,- it has as many of nukes as USA has and it just completing transition to the newest and best strategic missiles... Do you know why China is so well populated? One of the reasons - its Philosophy: If a war is unavoidable and one commander has less troops/resources, than the enemy, he just peacefully going under the command of more powerful counterpart. I believe the Ukrainians just need to accept the wisdom.
