    Why because they’re the only one not suggesting “Russia should abaondon their two year long successful military operataion because that’s what I, a whiny American liberal, want.”

        It has been very successful from a high-level strategic point of view. It caused Western powers to use a number of their financial nuclear options, to little to no effect. It has strained military productive capacity in those same powers, which they’re currently trying to turn into a new wave of militarization, but this runs counter to the fact that they are now heavily deindustrialized and the same forces that deindustrialized their countries are now in charge. The Russian economy has actually improved, particularly with investments in productive capacity. Russia has effectively annexed the Donbas region and is destroying UA’s military capacity, largely based on Soviet stockpiles, fascist shock troops, and increasingly weary conscripts.

        It’s not Russia’s original strategic goal but it’s going pretty well for them.

            Most of what I said is just basic facts anyone can confirm, e.g. banning Russia from SWIFT.

            Can you tell me what, in particular, is false?

            I suppose easily verifiable reality probably would seem like a “weird angle” when you’re not used to ever seeing it.
