Russia Isn’t Winning The War and It Isn’t Too Big To Fail

A riposte to a profoundly nonsensical article.

The reason for this article was a post written by one of the most successful authors in this space. In it, the writer states her reasons for the view that Russia has already won the war.

And for once, I was left staggered by the highly asinine points which were cobbled together to state the case about Russia’s success in Ukraine.

And I was much more staggered by the levels of gullibility (and stupidity) from those who read and agreed with everything that the author put forth in her write up.

Given the ubiquity of verifiable information that we have, no one should ever get away with writing such drivel, disguised as a serious piece, anywhere, and certainly not here.

And these are my reasons for disagreeing with Ms. Wildfire’s article.

Russia Isn’t too big to fail

Why?

Reason 1: Russia has failed a few times in recent history

In the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Berlin wall, it was eminently clear that the cold war apparatus with which Russia governed Europe had begun to fall apart.
