??Zelenskyy on the recent strikes with "Flamingo" missiles: "All missiles reached their targets"

This is what the head of state said while commenting on Ukraine's attack on Russian territory, in particular on the Votkinsk plant in Udmurtia.

The President also confirmed that Russian air defense attempted to intercept the missiles, but the operation was successful.

"The most important thing is that all the missiles that were launched reached the target."

With the exception of All Hat and No Cattle, I don’t recall anyone recently saying that, maybe I missed it.

Even Ag is more along the lines of "Russia is going to win" moreso than "Russia is going to win and has done a bang up job so far", at least from what I can recall.

Every once in a while a self proclaimed student of war would pop in and tell us that time was on Russia’s side and they would eventually grind Ukraine down.

I wonder if he has changed his mind?

yeah, there's no way that one would work out differently... and while the world shuddered at that however many miles long caravan headed to Kyiv, it was a gauntlet... just attack the first five vehiles and the rear five vehicles and everything in the middle was stuck... then the troops have to run into a marsh and trudging forward on foot is difficult and they're picked off... so they just started walking back to Belarus when the water ran out, and they had not packed food. The fact that they ran out of gas helped, too...

Russia's plan on paper sucked - it straight F'ing sucked.

Thank you.

I'll dig up the assessment that concluded Russia would've been mostly driven out of Ukraine by now IF Trump and Musk had not engineered a series of setbacks for Ukraine whenever Ukraine gained the upper hand.

Musk is just an opportunist and he's now made the call that Team Putin is not the winning side for him.

Trump is a VIP member of Team Putin. He's trying to become America's Putin... he'd prefer every country had a Putin in charge.

I wonder what would happen if Russia started sailing under their own flag and dropped the shadow fleet ruse.

Idk if they would've been driven out of Ukraine. Ukraine's only time they truly had the upper hand was during the 2022 counter offensive that caught Russia off guard. They might be in control of more of their territory if support wouldn't have been temporarily paused but to say Russia would have been driven back to its borders is a bit of a stretch.

I don’t recall a time when Trump was in offense that Ukraine had the upper hand enough to launch a major counter attack.

That point also (I assume intentionally) ignores the Biden admin at times slow playing deliveries to Ukraine for no real reason.
