Russia wasn't clueless - it's been winning for a long time now. Now that the truth is reaching the public, and the public will realize they've been conned out of billions of dollars, disinformationists have to make up excuses for why they claimed the Ukrainians were winning all this time.
So, the talking points of Ukie trolls is now, "We taught Russia everything they know about fighting...."
Yes, the losing army is taking credit for honing the skills of the winning Russian army.
You may not remember their sending troops into Chernobyl and their failed attempt to take Kiev. And them losing Kherson.
Destroying a Ukrainian city isn’t winning for the Russian people. Russia losing the European energy market isn’t winning. Losing military contracts because the world can see now what garbage Russian military tech is isn’t winning. I could go on but obviously you want stay in a fantasy world. That’s ok. Cheers.
Only a Russian would define the path of the war so far as "winning".
