Intel-Bericht: Russlands Invasion in der Ukraine „einer der langsamsten Kriege in der Militärgeschichte“ | Nachricht

This is what losing a war looks like in the 21st century.

In previous centuries, Russia’s neighbours would have dogpiled her by now. China would take whatever it wanted, probably as far as the Urals. Finland would have taken Karelia. Poland would’ve taken Kalingrad and advanced on Moscow alongside the Ukrainians.

Only nukes and the modern rules-based world order keeps Russia in the game. Let’s them keep headbutting a wall indefinitely because nobody has the stomach to flatten them. But make no mistake, Russia is bleeding hopelessly in a doomed expedition.
