In fairness, Russia expected to win the war in 3 days. Most serious analysts thought the war would be over quickly and Ukraine would be fighting as insurgents.

The fact that the front lines are basically static three years later with minimal territory taken by Russia is insane. No one saw that coming in the beginning.

Russia expected to win the war in 3 days

That was General Mark Milley of the United States of America:

That was never a claim made by any Russian in power, but rather western warmongers (who probably had stocks in Lockheed Martin and/or Raytheon and/or Boeing)

"If we don't aid Ukraine, Russia could win in 3 days"

If you are going to participate on this instance please refrain from parroting misinformation spread by the US state department and DoD as pointed out by @CloutAtlas@hexbear.net

Have you considered that actually Russia is the United States because Putin was literally the US' guy?
