Entirely possible just its laid on so thick I have my doubts.
Hahaha you genuinely think you deserve a reply to your rants. Amazing.
Ukraine are losing

How could Ukraine win? Even if all the Russians left tomorrow? They have been invaded. They have suffered huge population displacement, massive destruction of infrastructure, god knows how many dead.
When you're Russian, what does winning look like? How many dead servicemen do you trade for a scrap of territory?
Yes, Ukraine is outnumbered. It will never be the same again. But whatever victory Russia claims will be Pyrrhic.
ETA: to say nothing of the economic damage to Russia (which seems baked in to their calculations) and the (albeit temporary, because capitalist memories are short) loss of confidence in Russia as a credible actor in any deal.
Its appalling he's smashed the place to bits. They have been begging for more support for weeks and been ignored. Disgusting.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
When did you start getting aroused when you think of Putin? Was it when he invaded Ukraine or has it been years for you?

I don't think a larger war would have been a better war. As things stand it's a big enough mess, with repercussions far beyond Europe and which will last for years even if the fighting stops in the morning

Indeed we are. But most of us have the slow and easy end of losing. Not yet the bombs/wrecked houses/starving in basements/dying kind of losing.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Okay General, 99.9 % of people don't have a grasp on this shitshow and my post was just inviting discussion but a quick google Rosgvardia national guardsmen shows they are riot cops and not trained for warfare and are not very happy having been sent there.

I would think that the issue of the Rosgvardiya being deployed should be considered in the context of when and why they were deployed.
The 'press conference' with captured OMON and SOBR officers back at the start of March suggests that they were included in the initial invasion, and - taking the accounts of the detainees at face value - were tasked with pacification of the civilian population after what was anticipated to be a swift rollup of Ukrainian military forces.

Ukraine: Unsubstantiated rumours and speculation
"Ukraine is an inalienable part of our own history, culture and spiritual space” Putin said. That’s what this is all about, “spiritual space” — a terrifying phrase steeped in over a thousand years of Russian religious history. Rev Giles Fraser argues that Putin is driven by a particular...

Mebbe should be in the rumour thread but this looks legit. Tiny but significant:

Fuck it, it's fine.
There's a tweet from the Lithuanian President saying the same thing. It's not a rumour.

Funny enough, I've just posted about that on the gas thread, see this post -
Russia to stop gas supplies to Europe (1/4/22)
* Unless Putin is having a laugh. So, today's the deadline for Europe and other "unfriendly" countries to start paying for Russian gas in roubles, or the gas supply will be cut, certainly some countries are refusing to do so, insisting they will continue to pay in euros, as per their contracts...

Not yet anyway but that'll certainly come to a load of countries and people in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia will have the slow and easy end of losing for many years to come no matter the military or political outcome of this war. I wonder how long it will before the number of dead from hunger in countries that would have had food from Ukraine (or Russia, for that matter), from asbestosis or other poisonous dust, from suicide or from other consequences of the war will exceed the number actually killed during the period of the special military operation.
