Ukraine isn't America and is Ukraine really winning? edit: I cannot answer your comment because it was immediately flagged. I don't really see why. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsehood_in_War-Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsehood_in_War-Time The bullet points seem to awfully fit media reporting and I am sure they have common sources on a lot of topics. I guess a victory condition for Ukraine would be to keep its government. They still have that for now. But if they hold out and Russia "just" keeps the regions around Donbass with access to the black sea, it is a very small victory and the EU still does buy gas from Russia and any third party intervention seems unlikely.

The implication here, that news media and reportage in the west has not been overwhelmingly in favor of Ukraine, is just silly. Fog of war means some idiot like me can’t tell who is “winning”, but it’s pretty easy to notice that the casualties and captures of equipment, etc, that get reported are always losses for the Russian side, never Ukraine. We get big opinion pieces like Fukuyama saying Russia is bound to collapse any second. Not to mention, if you go out of your way looking for info in the other direction to balance it out, that is increasingly harder to find. Some relatively large accounts have discontinued covering the war from the pro-Russia side because certain countries have called it treason and started prosecuting for it. This piece is simply delusional, sorry.
