It is interesting to watch the compromised voices who are called from seclusion to make statements when needed.

Pretty sure it’s the Ukrainians fighting them is what’s causing the Russians to be losing

I call BS on that notion. Strangling Russia’s economy may (or may not) have a long-term effect, but it’s not the cause of their lack of a short-term victory in Ukraine.

“The economic bomb has also given friends and enemies alike the idea that perhaps having one country set the terms of international trade through a single currency is a bad idea.”

And this is where we become the loser who in all this.

Texas, California and New York each have a GDP larger than Russia.

Russia is the largest country in the world in land area though.

This is now week #3 of this war?? Sanctions take a while to have an effect in the conflict, especially for a large country such as Russia. Though the sanctions are probably destroying the Russian economy in the longer term.

I don't know if Russia is losing, but I do know that they are now in week #3 of the war because the Ukrainians have united and are fighting back hard.

I don't know Putin's mind, but I think he wanted to finish this as fast as possible before global pressure took its toll on Russia. Ukrainian cities are being destroyed by Russia, but I think Russia is paying a steep price economically because of the campaign taking too long.

Thus far the average Ukrainians have rejected Russian tyranny. They don't want "big brother Russia" dictating their lives.
