Ukraine and the EU are outclassing Russia in every aspect relevant to waging war: demographic potential, industrial base, economic resilience, technological advance. Hence, Russia has already lost this war. The fact that Russia sometimes succeeds in damaging or destroying some data centers is absolutely irrelevant to the final outcome of this war of attrition.

What a silly response. My post is factual, yours not.

What a silly response. The parent post is factual, your GP post is not.

There, now we have all brought the same amount of rigor to this discussion.

I’ll also point out that everyone sees Russia struggling in this war that they’re “definitely winning”. The baseless assertions may have been intimidating at the start of the war but we’re years into it now and Ukraine is still standing.

Does the EU + Ukraine have e.g.:

* Drone production capacity Russia has (small drones, jet powered Gerans)? -> No

* A domestic Starlink like system (Rassvet)? -> No

* Weapons in quality and quantity (e.g. Oreshnik, Kinzhal, Zirkon)? -> No

* Quantity of FAB like bombs with advanced correction systems? -> No

* Quantity and quality of nuclear weapons arsenal? -> NO

So my post is based on facts anyone can check. This is a war of attrition, by definition this is progressing slowly.

It may serve you to get your information outside Russian propaganda channels. Drone and weapon production for Ukraine is increasing happening in the EU. France's nuclear shield is expanding. Congratulations on Rassvet, you did not have this only a few months ago.

Let's not pretend a country with a economy the size of Spain can have a meaningful chance against the EU. Russia's "3 day war" has turned itself into a vassal state of China.

> Drone and weapon production for Ukraine is increasing happening in the EU

That may be true, but these weapons need to be transported into Ukraine, with railway, gas stations, bridges and port (Odessa) infrastructure being gradually destroyed by Russia, there is no way to go for the Collective West.

I don't understand how "France's nuclear shield" may help Ukraine militarily in any way. It's the EU that seeks war with Russia, don't pretend it's the other way around.

"The moon is made of green cheese because I said so" is not a fact.

I think you missed the point.
