      Ok those people aren’t me, I don’t speak for their opinion on it. I am saying the Russian military is unsustainably fighting at this point and the blowback from not having enough armor nor air defense will progressively create more and more decisive opportunities for Ukraine to counterattack, which Ukraine has and will continue to do.

        Ok, so when did it change? At what point did it go from all of those people (who aren’t you) saying it and being wrong to you saying the exact same thing but being right. When did that change happen and how did you determine it?

          Ukraine gaining approximate artillery parity, depletion of Russian armor and Ukrainian deep strike efforts becomingly increasingly devastating to Russian logistics as Russian air defenses/radar are obliterated leaving gaping holes into fragile parts of Russia’s war machine in the wake of their destruction (Russia is failing to replace destroyed radar, they don’t have the production nor maintenence capability too). The point I identify was somewhere in late summer when it became clear the Russian summer offensive was failing to do anything but take tiny amounts of territory in exchange for shocking losses.

          Further Russia is transitioning to indiscriminate flying bomb attacks on civilians which is itself a blatant sign Russia feels it looks too weak on the actual battlefield to project strength and inevitability.
