Trolls & bots fail to understand or accept that Russia is anything but infinite and inevitable - but numbers are numbers. They've spent half of their entire Soviet inheritance to steal what they sit on today. The war doesn't end when they get to zero vehicles. The half they've squandered is surely the BETTER half, and they still need an army for territorial defense and internal repression. Ukraine is not about the break, and this is probably the best position Russia is ever going to be in. This is the endgame of this messy, abusive Divorce, and Pootz has to come up with some whopper lies to say it was all worthwhile.

If I am punching the guy that broke into my house in the balls repeatedly and he doesn't shoot me, he either has no bullets or no gun.

Or he's concerned about the five other guys with guns trained on him that all have a cautious understanding that nobody should shoot first. The Soviets didn't nuke Afghanistan and America didn't nuke Vietnam, after all

Are those others with guns and understanding in the room with Ukraine rigjt now?

If by "in the room" we mean "in range of Russia", yes

So you're in your house, right? And I'm in my house. Good so far?

So a guy breaks into my house, and I'm punching the guy in the balls repeatedly. And you, in your house, are currently afraid of that guy.

I think this is a perfect analogy for the current situation everybody finds themselves in at the moment.
