The SMO has not gone the tyrants way. The Dark Days when Ukrainians were loosing ground due to US stalling under Mike Johnson are over. They now are in military alliances with European allies, Germany at the forefront helping them produce domestic long range missiles, even ballistic ones to hit Kremlin. They are now hitting the oil, gas facilities upto 2400 kms away. Also now picking off Putins Baltic Fleet hemmed in on Kronstadt Is. On the frontlines the enemy is loosing territory, and 1500+ soldiers each day, with the attrition rate upto 28-1 Economically, the Russian economy is in trouble, people cannot get gas, ditto for farmers, Crimea is completely cut off from fuel, who would have thought this in 2022.. Many German vets looking down from Heaven are smiling, this could end the evil Empire for good So is Ronald Reagan up there with them.
