    Don't really know where you want to go with that and why do you sound so aggressive, insecure and immature ?

    I'm just asking you a question about the state of the 3-day special operation in Ukraine

    Not really. What I said did not warrant that question, hence it was just the start of some sealioning and I prefered to cut the BS short.

    In case you are actually serious and not pretending to be obtuse.

    How can Russia be a superpower "slightly behind top three", when it hilariously failed an invasion on to neighbouring country that was planned to be finished in 3 days, all while exposing an insane amount of corruption and incompetence in it's army and having 500k+ casualties?

    Did not the Usa, top 1 superpower, had some massive fuckups over the decade ?

    As much as I hate agreeing with you, the entire middle east is fuckup central for the US that's before going to South America and past Asian adventures.

    well the US certainly hasn't failed an invasion since Vietnam. Controlling a country after you conquer it is a lot harder then the conquering (unless your just willing to genocide and replace the population like Russia does).

    Russia is failing the easy part, beating the Ukrainian army.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Including losing a full third of their navy, including their flagship, to a country that doesn't have a navy.

    Fuckups in terms of holding countries, sure. Conquest is something they're rather good at, and in nations that are half a world a way which is significantly more challenging to invade than the next door neighbor. Failing against Ukraine is the equivalent of America not being able to conquer Mexico or Canada if they put their mind to it. It would be quite embarrassing.

    So what would you say is a comparable fuckup the US had?

    Third of their Black Sea Fleet, not the navy as a whole.

    Still embarrassing, since the greater point stands: Ukraine has no navy.

    Of course it is embarassing, especially when they lost the 1 billion sub that wasnt even commissioned yet. But its better to stay accurate in claims.

    Its been a long day. Some good news for people still supporting freedom and democracy around the world.

    The West finally allowed Ukraine to strike back at Russia — and it seems to be working
    CNN

    Bankir and his men have been trying to fight off Russian attacks along the Ukrainian front lines for more than two years. But it’s only now that they are finally able to strike where it hurts: Inside Russia’s own territory.

    The newly granted permission by the United States and other allies to use Western weapons to strike inside Russia has had a huge impact, Bankir said. “We have destroyed targets inside Russia, which allowed for several successful counteroffensives. The Russian military can no longer feel impunity and security,” the senior officer in Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) told CNN. For security reasons, he asked to be identified by his call sign only.

    After many months on the back foot because of ammunition and manpower shortages, Kyiv is finally able to take full advantage of Western military aid that started to flow into the country last month, after months of delays.

    Soldiers on the front lines say the deliveries are beginning to make a difference – especially since they can now use the arsenal to strike across the border.
