Looks like sinking a repaired landing ship again did not change the war...
But the pattern is the same - when Kiev is losing a battle - it just hits something 'big' in the rear - and the dumb audience…
It feels good to feel good- this damn sure aint a stalemate.
It seems strange to be gleefully rooting for the country who launched an unprovoked invasion of their neighbor and has spent the last couple of years destroying cities and murdering thousands of civilians, but if that makes you happy then more power to you I guess. Kind of just makes you seem like a bad person though.
Seeing a perceived 'stalemate' broken where both sides are losing hundreds per day, at least, so the war might be resolved/ended sooner is a moral positive/net good, imho.
And to my mind the "bad people" are the ones (or one) who ordered the invasion and could end the war and all of the ongoing deaths associated with it whenever he wanted to. If you were really interested in the stalemate ending it seems like you would also be highlighting that there's only one person who could end this today.
If you want to pass the blame off on a bunch of other parties you're more than welcome to, I was mostly commenting on PCG's weird somewhat gleeful cheering for a murdering dictator. Maybe he'll start rooting for Hamas and North Korea next.👇👇👇 this guy did it months ago. pic.twitter.com/RVk2uz2SUF

Putin and Xi have compromising information on the Bidens obviously (though a lot is also public, yet suppressed), and know they can get him to support stretching the war out for their aims until they see fit to end it.

That's a few words to say "I don't like your links so I will disparage what you have provided without factual or evidentiary support of my own because I don't like it, and revert to a middle school level analyses that a dictator in Russia might just opt to abdicate/surrender and resign."J.

That's a lot of words and continued use questionable links to continue to pass the blame someone besides the one person who is responsible for this entire conflict. It's a 100% fact that Putin could literally end this right now. The rest of your post is just conjecture.

De Telegraaf: Russia is getting stronger!
The Netherlands should not think that safety is guaranteed with us because we are 1,500 kilometers away. Russia is getting stronger. There is only one language that Russia understands: that of a robust armed forces.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that his country must prepare for war and that conscription must return.
The highest commander of the Belgian army, who emphasized that Europe must urgently prepare for a conflict with Russia
Commander of the Army Martin Wijnen does not yet want to argue for a new Dutch conscription. But something urgently needs to be done to strengthen the armed forces. This year, the Defense Department started its brand new 'service year', a way of involving young people in the armed forces, copied from Sweden. It started with six hundred volunteers.
The resilience of the Dutch population must be improved across the board, Wijnen believes. "That means, for example: supplies, food and drinking water in the basement, so that you can absorb a blow if society is disrupted.
For the Finns and the Balts this is all self-evident, because they are close to the threat.

At the beginning of December, the daily refrain was that funding runs out for them around now. And they would be screwed if we didn't give them more. I may have missed it but I don't think we have approved any more funding for them.

Cutting off funding will be a slow bleed out not a sudden death. It's not like the troops will no longer be able to fire a gun because of a lack of support. It is an erosion of capability.
Funding Ukraine is critical for American interests long term and this 30 minute video does a good job walking you through the global situation and their potential outcomes. Otherwise we are ignorning the key fundamental lesson of the prior world wars. Isolationism does not shield us from the imperialistic desires of evil autocrats. It only entrenches and enables them - raising the costs.
