Be interested in what you mean by "winning". Edging into more Ukraine territory at a cost of hundreds of thousands of lives ....
He has made Russia a virtual pariah, devastated his armed forces, wrecked the already weak economy .
Despite Trump treating him like the boss of a superpower (which does not help)it is a fallacy.
Russia has half the GDP of the UK, it's economy is smaller than Italy's, it's army has been devastated and billions in equipment destroyed. Yes they have massive Nuclear capability rusting away in various locations but so what? They cannot use them and they know it.
Russia is not a Superpower and has not been for some time. China has replaced it.
Shame Trump cannot see that. Maybe someone could bring him into the 21st century. He has ,with Europe a real chance to slap down putin, instead of slapping down Ukraine for being invaded!
