    who even cares about naval assets in a land-based war?

    sounds like a waste of missiles that could be used to e.g. fuck with Crimes logistics by taking down the bridge

    We’ve been hearing this for over a year now but it seems like Russia keeps going. Is Ukraine actually winning?

      “Ukraine sunk their battleship, so why hasn’t the war ended?”

      If you’re going to insist on learning the realities of war from a boardgame, at least use Risk.

      Russia lost as soon as they failed to complete their stated “objectives” as fast as they arrogantly thought they would as they mixed up cosplaying as a superpower with actually being one. They’re no longer able to meaningfully “win” in Ukraine and with each passing day their position only weakens, while Ukraine gets stronger. The only question now is how badly Russia’s going to lose.
