I really hope this doesn’t come off as some tankie bullshit because that is not my intent.

It seems like I see a lot of conflicting perspectives on what is going on in Ukraine. Sometimes it feels like Russia is a joke and Ukraine is making them look like fools. Their technology is outdated, they’re running out of troops, etc. But then a post like this comes along and suggests they’re committing acts of terror and are an existential threat to Ukraine.

It doesn’t feel like both things could be true at the same time.

Is Russia succeeding or are they failing in Ukraine?

They're failing at conquering Ukraine. They're succeeding at committing war crimes.
