The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust
this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports
that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the
situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a
large plethora of military resources? PS: I realize there are many casualties on
both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to
how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia
winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so
I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of
allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic
country.
Someone in the thread reccomended Timothy Snyder as a source
Even wikipedia cant hide how much of a hack this guy is;

Critical reception
The book began to excite controversy as soon as it was published.[1] It received a mixed review by historian Richard J. Evans in The Guardian.[3] Political commentator Helen Andrews writing in First Things gave it a mostly negative review.[4]
Omer Bartov wrote that "the book presents no new evidence and makes no new arguments",[28] and in a highly critical review Richard Evans wrote that, because of its lack of causal argument, "Snyder's book is of no use", and that Snyder "hasn't really mastered the voluminous literature on Hitler's Germany", which "leads him into error in a number of places" regarding the politics of Nazi Germany
and as usual people who peddle this shit are universally panned in academic circles and signal boosted by pseudo-intulectual liberals who are NATO and US alligned.

I find seeing the sources these people use to build their world view is always very illustrative.
Hitler wasnt a nationalist apparently
Snyder is a big double genocide guy

The Wikipedia page is a good example of this happening
Double genocide theory and Nazi apologia: name a more iconic duo.
Anarcho-naziism? That sure is something.
