Chris Snow, at Medium, reveals the damage that Russia is experiencing from Ukrainian counterattacks. Excerpt:…

Quick Summary and Conclusion

The noose around Russia’s neck is tightening. While Russia continues to fail in Bakhmut. Russia also continues to prove incapable of stopping these acts of sabotage. Or maybe they just got a lot of chain smokers being careless. Who knows. The financial damage that these attacks have caused is also massive it must go in the billions of dollars by now. But that’s the law of Karma: What goes around, comes around. The good, and the bad. In particular, war, destruction, expulsion, and death.

Russia truly reaps what it sows

These attacks will not stop. It is much more likely that they will further increase.

Russia has already lost this war. The regime is just too ignorant and foolish to accept that. Should they refuse to realise that by the end of September this year, then it will cost them much more than just losing this war. This kind of stubbornness to accept defeat and lick your wounds is why nations and empires ultimately fail. Dying empires lose their sense of their own borders. The extractive institutions of the empire then begin to exclude ever larger portions of their subjects. They have then literally nothing left to lose. A situation that will ultimately lead to Russia’s economic, military, and political collapse. I think I can already hear the year 1917 as it echoes through time like a siren. The graveyard of empires awaits the Russian Federation, and with every failed attempt of an offensive, that end comes ever closer.

Glory to Ukraine!
