I see Ukraine has at last found some small measure of success

color me skeptical that this will turn the tide, given that real life is not a movie or video game. only way that happens is if the Russian leadership loses heart

@deprecated_ii Do you still think Russia possesses any systemic advantages? They are outnumbered without a mobilization; with a mobilization they collapse their economy in a few years, and then it's a dead end: occupation and partitioning.

@union @deprecated_ii I dunno, does anyone actually want to occupy them? Seems like if they're not a threat, then there's not a lot to gain from it. If they were under a stable and non-threatening government and trading goods with the rest of the world, then people would probably leave them alone.

@kazriko @deprecated_ii Globohomo leaves nobody alone. Russia was fighting the tranny menace even before the flare-up in 2022.

@union @deprecated_ii That sounds like something that wouldn't occupy and partition Russia. Just slowly erode it.
