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.
