1. Going by total that is a large net Russian gain.
2. Going month-to-month, that is large NYC sized Russian gain in the last month.
You're such a loser you're defending the performance of a country that lost 18% of its territory since 2022 and a chunk the size of NYC last month. Your standard for winning is so low, you're calling it the "greatest dominance in centuries" just to still own most of your own land. LOL What do you call those countries that haven't lost land at all? The greaterest dominance in milleniums? How about those that made gains in territory? The most greaterest dominance since the beginning of time? LOL Cus that's Russia!
They were not going to be able to break away themselves; they would have been eaten up by other parts of Ukraine to be anti-Russia if Russia had not stepped in. And they are the controllable parts of Ukraine by Russia. Taking other parts that are heavily anti-Russia would result in heavy terrorism... unless Russia ground them down with battlefield meat grinders first as it's doing now.
It doesn't matter whether you frame this sentence from the beginning of the invasion or since last month. By the first term Russia has gained 18% of Ukraine; by the second term, Russia has gained the size of NYC. You cannot win this argument either way.
You start from Soviet times? LOL OK I'll start earlier from 862 the founding of Russia then. From then, Russia has gained more land than any other country on earth.
Oh so I'm small, weak and wrong, and so is SDF, probably all forums in the world, but you're the only one who's not, right? LOL Typical sore loser tantrum. Flip the chess board and call the rules stupid when you lose. You want to be the judge of your own fight but sadly, little boy, you cannot. Nobody can judge their own contests or there would be no losers in the world.
By the way, gosh the people here really think you're stupid. I login here and my notifications are absolutely flooded with upvotes on my posts against you. I mean seriously, I follow almost 100 active threads and the majority of notifications aren't new posts but upvotes. I mean real upvotes, not laugh emojis like you're getting. I've been here for over 10 years and this only happens when I am destroying a stubborn idiot.
So basically, you have no definition of what it means to be low cultured other than that it means to insult you? What about when you insult people behind their back like Putin? Or you mean it's low cultured to insult you when you are here but highly cultured to insult people behind their back so they cannot respond?
A PhD in STEM with logic as poor as you? It's very hard to believe.
But you're the one who brought up education, aren't you?
1. So I have bad manners because I defend someone.
2. You have good manners because you insult someone behind his back but immediately cry about personal insults when I give some back to you.
3. All the links I posted, you do not understand are evidence? Didn't you claim to be a PhD? We are experts at evidence when you can't recognize it even when slapped with it?
4. I analyze the overall gains and losses on the battlefield while you angrily vent that a certain few corrupt Ukrainians who are happy to get huge numbers of Ukrainian soldiers killed are getting rich and living well and that means I'm emotional and you're calm?
5. Do you not realize that having those corrupt leaders throw more anti-Russian Ukrainian soldiers and fighting-aged males to be killed in Russia's grinder is exactly what Russia wants to make Ukraine more easily rulable? Why would they want to assassinate these people and stop that?
Oh How wrong you are again. Don't you understand the main difference between China and Muslims or India? We all have masses of people going to the West. But only China can depend on our sea turtles returning at the right time to bolster our nation with their knowledge. Are you equally as unfamiliar with China's history as you are with battlefield analysis? Because it was the CCP's government initiative to send scholars out to the West, particularly the US, under the strategy that if even a small amount come back with their new knowledge, that they will bring rapid ascension to China. A Chinese scholar going to the US 20+ years ago is considered following the directive, don't you know?
What have you done for your country? What is your country? Mine is clear by both the picture and the screenname but you seem to cowardly hide behind calling yourself a vagina and saying you're from the "world."
Russia needs to do better.
Even comparing the performance of Russia fighting a Ukraine backed by all of NATO against Israel fighting a couple of stateless Muslim factions WITH the backing of NATO is stupid to begin with.
Continuing to take Ukrainian territory and killing Ukrainian men in meat grinders. They took a chunk the size of NYC last month; have you heard?
With up to 18 hours of blackouts per day (going up to 20+ if Russia keeps hitting energy generators) and tight energy rations. Were you, a
"PhD," able to get that from the evidence I posted? I quoted it for you right up front in case you where like a demo-pack level PhD or something just getting the hang of it but here you are making the same broken claims again...
That's not up to Russia; it does not have the power to completely dominate the collective West, which is no shame at all.
That's possibly a higher level of stupid for even you. Even Poland itself is not a South Korea. Turn Ukraine into one?? Why don't you just say they promised to turn Ukraine into a white Nazi Wakanda?
Says the person who brushes off the loss of 18% of Ukraine to Russia and gets instead emotional that Ukraine's corrupt leaders are rich LOL
