We never claimed that the war would lead to an eradication of the Russian military in the Ukraine, only that it would reduce symptoms of the Russian presence.

We never claimed that the Ukraine military was more than 15% effective.

The fact that the Russian economy is growing means the sanctions are effective.

We had to lie because we didn’t think you could handle the truth.

We’re going to need a booster war with Russia every six months.
