This goes out to all my fans over at .ml that banned me for laughing at their idea that "Ukraine's military is days away from collapsing:"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
deep breath
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
- Are they still mumbling about 3 days till Ukraine collapses like they do since checks watch February 24th 2022?
  
  Not mumbling, CAWing. But yes, as of a week ago, they are.
  
  Tbf I've seen a lot of talk about Russia's imminent economic collapse which would render them unable to sustain the war for the past 3 or so years as well. Like Ukraine being hammered by Russian missiles, this incident will be costly but the war will drag on.
  
  Russia is less susceptible to morale failure than more liberal countries, and can stumble on in zombie mode, a decaying corpse of a nation-state reanimated by force, terror and rhetoric, at least until enough of its limbs fall off to render it structurally incapable of shambling.
  
  The collopse has never been something that will stop the war overnight. They ecconomy is collapsing, but it will play out over decades and the war can drag on a long time with a collapsing ecconomy.
  
  With the USSR it was kind of all at once. Or rather, they managed to hide it until the very end.
