I think 99% of people thought it would be basically over in a matter of weeks. Even U.S. Generals that have been interviewed have said that. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Maybe everyone on the pro-Russian right, certainly not everyone. Many people thought Ukraine would hold out.

Over 20,000 people from all over the world joined the Ukraine foreign legion since March (and these are just those who officially join). People are literally flocking to fight for Ukraine for no pay (actually paying to be there). Russia is struggling to get (and keep) conscripts. Its two totally different militaries, one is full of people who want to be there, one is full of people who are struggling to get away despite the threat of force.

There is no such thing as "pro-Russia right." Russia is a leftist ideology.

"Many" <> "most." Russia has a larger army, larger population, nukes, and had taken Crime at will. That is many real advantages on the Russian side. You really need to get your information from a source other than PMSNBC.

The President is a fink.

I'm really shocked at the support Putin gets from the right.
There was time when the loyal opposition supported a President over a foreign adversary

Sounds like we need some new U.S. Generals
This thinking could be the result of the industrial Defence institution. The massive amount of dollars spent on this institution is directly related to the predicted military capability of Russia.
Interesting enough, just watched the Netflix Anthrax documentary
A govt scientist released it because his dept developing a Anthrax vaccine was being shut down
After he released Anthrax secretly through the mail, his job became a prestige job. He was getting recognition because he was an Anthrax expert

This is not an Airplane movie where interpretation is done by two brain cells.

Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?

These people were simply doing their jobs moving the mail.
