    Russia is using WWII equipment, Ukraine recently retook a big piece of land, Russia’s economy is on the brink of collapse, opposition of the regime grows bolder day by day.

    This does not seem like a winning power to me.

      Russia is using WWII equipment

      Yeah it’s pretty ridiculous. The outcome is what matters, though.

      Ukraine recently retook a big piece of land

      I don’t think this is true, and in any case, Russia is still advancing consistently. Go on DeepStateMAP and check the past few months (not every day - just once per month) and you will get the picture: no major breakthroughs, but grinding advancement.

      Russia’s economy is on the brink of collapse

      It’s been massively weakened by sanctions but a quick google for russian economy "brink of collapse" reveals as many articles predicting this as dispelling the predictions going back at least two years.

        If the Russian economy is on the brink of collapse, there will be confident assertions it’s not true until the actual day of the collapse.
