I’m genuinely fascinated by the use of a smiley face here. Like, based on the question I assume your point is that Russia’s losses are significantly less relevant compared to their overall capabilities, which is a prefectly valid point to make.
But the addition of the smiley face suggests that you’re happy about this fact? Like, are you actually cheering for an autocratic dictator to succeed in bringing more people under his heel? Because that seems like the only way to read that, unless I’m really missing something here?
My point is the exact opposite. The smiley face is to point the hypocrisy of making the loss of 3 abrams something meaningful when Russia lost far, far more.
Ah, I see. Sorry for misreading your intent. I deal with so many weird ass tankies on Lemmy who genuinely do seem to get off on the idea of Russia successfully annexing Ukraine that it’s really hard to tell.
What proportions of its planes did Russia lost? Of its warships? Of its tanks? :-)
