Even if it is 100% accurate, this declaration of Russia's defeat is a bit premature. The Kherson counteroffensive has lead to action around Kharkiv and Izyum. Russia has not responded effectively to counter. They are in a bad position now. This could be a major turning point in the war.
It is only one week into the Kherson counteroffensive that is expected to take months. Ukraine has asked and received a news blackout for operational security. There isn't a lot of information out as how this is shaping up.
I hope Russia is on its way to losing. There just is not enough information to be definitive just yet.

Russia is seven months into what should have been a seven day war.
This should have been so damned easy for Russia to pull off. A massive push into Kyiv, force the capitulation or abdication of the government, push to the Polish border, and declare victory. Boom-bada-bing. And that’s what I expected back when this started.
Instead the Russians were defeated mostly by their own ineptitude. Yes, the Ukies did a stand up job of fighting them but by all rights this was still Russia’s war to win or to lose.
And no one has to get paid to say this. It’s just how it is.

So, it’s then clear that Russia has attained all its objectives if Thoroughly Modern Milley says otherwise.

"Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Thursday said Russia’s strategic objectives in its attack on Ukraine have “been defeated.”" Coming from milley, it means nothing.

Milley said that?
Oh, oh, Ukraine is in trouble.

If Milley is saying that, then it’s a good bet that Russia will soon win this war.

Willy Milly is a woke communist POS, but even a complete moron can spot a quagmire.
If Iraq went like this (deaths aproaching ‘Nam levels, no victory in sight), Bush would have been impeached/renoved from office by now (in 2003).

How many good officers were retired during the 8 years of Obama for “Loss of Confidence?”. That’s culling the heard so mediocrities like Austin & Milley can rise to the top.
