Russia thought they could win in three days

They did seem pretty confident of a quick war—as many invaders have.

​

Russia is using old Soviet tanks

I guess many of them were destroyed.

​

Russia is forced to press people into service against their will because their losses are unsustainable

That's fair, though when Hitler invaded the USSR, the Soviets might have press-ganged a few conscripts.

​

Russian military is rebelling

"Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where the fuck is the ammunition?! Look at them, bitches"

​

Russian people are anti-war and being oppressed and will rise up against Putin

I didn't see that much about it in r/Ukraine.

​

Russia can barely hold any of the land it’s gained

They lost Kharkiv after losing that long line of tanks.

​

If you genuinely think the narrative has been “Russian victory is inevitable” for three years, you are delusional

Putin seems to think so.
