Afghanistan was the grave of the Soviet Union, I hope you know. 1979 t 1989, RIP. Sniff.
Soviets lost 14,000 in Afghanistan
America lost 56,000 in Vietnam
Americans are better at dying and better at losing wars. America's graves are bigger and they have many more.
Those Soviet causality figures are a bit of nostalgic propaganda you pulled from the butt end of the defunct Soviet PR machine. Really sets the old timey atmosphere. Nice touch!
Troops’ use of patches bearing Nazi emblems risks fueling Russian propaganda and spreading imagery that the West has spent a half-century trying to eliminate.
That's not relevant. Relevant is the fact that Ukraine is becoming a European Afghanistan with no chances of kicking Russia out. The smart decision for Zelensky would be to give up and save some Ukrainian lives.
A repeat Afghanistan for Russia.
It looks like Russia has won big chunks of Ukrainian territory and is there to stay.
The US lost against cavemen with AK-47 in Afghanistan. Russia is winning against a NATO commanded and equipped neo-nazi army in Ukraine. Big difference.

If you add up Soviet/Russian deaths from wars in the 20th and 21st century, the Soviet/russkies hands down have more than America. It's not even close.

Your lost point is already nostalgic.
My legs got blown off by Russian backed North Vietnamese who beat America’s a** in the Vietnam war. Now Russia is blowing off Nazi legs in Ukraine. Jam your Ukraine Nazi flags in my stumps.

Russia lost against those same cavemen in Afghanistan!

Moscow has increased its missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities in part to prevent Kyiv from deploying more of its scarce air-defense systems to the front line in the south.

The US spends hundreds of billions of dollars on wars and sends thousands of soldiers around the world to fight in them, but it seems unable to translate all that might into anything that could be called victory.

But it's not gonna lose against the NATO commanded and equipped neo-nazi army in Ukraine.
The US has never won against an army of such level.
2020 was before “the main war” WTF that means. It was a time when you could write a whole book on how Putin supported Nazis in Russia. Russia has been a Nazi-infested sh*thole even since Stalin and his buddy Hitler decided the Holocaust was cool.

Of course Russia being the biggest Nazi-infested sh*thole in the world is relevant. Putin’s whole motivation for invading is “Ukraine has Nazis”!! But Russia has more Nazis than every single country combined. This is a direct result of Putin’s explicit support for Nazis in Russia (and abroad) for the last 30 years. If Putin is concerned about the prevalence of Nazis anywhere it should be their prevalence in Russia, and if he wants to eliminate the cause of their rise he should put a bullet through his skull (he should do that regardless).
I confess I had no idea Russia was this damn inept at trying to fight a war do they suck long and hard or what? By the time this is over there will over 300, 000 dead Russia's for no real reason or gains at all, just some weird little freak whims, sheesh~~~~~
Russia is totally whipped the question has to be how does Russia not get this by now? Why are they still there, they won't be gaining anything how cool is that?
So those of you who talked up a Russian victory well.....WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The mayor of Lviv in western Ukraine reported a drone strike on a critical-infrastructure site in the city."
Lviv is about 600-700 miles from the closest front line in eastern Ukraine. If there is any historical claim to Lviv, it would be from Poland. The closest military base is about 20 miles outside the city. Russia intentionally targeted civilian infrastructure in Lviv, a city so far from the front line that it has almost no nexus to the war on the eastern front. In Zaporizhzhia, Russia targeted agriculture equipment and a recreation area. And these attacks were not isolated incidents. These attacks have been purposefully targeting civilians since Ukraine regained significant territory last fall. This is actually being done to the detriment of RU's military operations along the front lines, but is probably out of necessity because RU's military lacks the technical capacity to use combined arms on the front lines. After a year, RU's military is finally using close air support in defending positions from the current UA counter offensive. But all that aside, RU is purposefully targeting civilians in this war with the only military objective of forcing UA to expend air defenses protecting women, children, the elderly from Russia's attacks. But the real issue in this war is some coffee shop that made a regrettable font choice for their logo.
