Can't remember if I ever put this on here, but a few months ago I was talking with someone IRL, and I was telling them that the longer the Russian-Ukrainian war is gonna last, the more likely it is that Ukraine loses. They disagreed with me, and told me it's gonna be the other way around.
I personally think it's still too early to say for sure, but so far I'm still not convinced Russia is loosing this.
