Mexican president urges end to 'irrational' Ukraine war, wants Russia at peace talks
Well... he isn't wrong. It is indeed completely irrational to fight 17 months, lose hundred thousand+ soldiers, most of your somewhat modern equipment and damage your economy for decades to come while proving to be incapable of even remotely reaching the goals set for just a 3-day-long invasion. And Russia should finally pack up, go home and end this shit show.
And now let's wait for his brilliant plan to actually get Russia to wake up from their insane fever dream and delusion of grandeur... That is his plan, isn't it? cough
But enough about Ukraine's performance in this war...
Which part of this is Ukraine, exactly? The "irrational" fighting, the "somewhat modern equipment", or the "incapable of reaching the goals set"? Because afaik, Ukraine is still standing, fighting with modern equipment, and with unwavering support for future reconstruction from its allies
Try to keep the response coherent
The only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y'all using it as some sort of gotcha?

Even if it was hyperbole, which it isn't, they still tried to blitzkrieg and failed.
Go on, respond then
Given that Russia appears to be winning this conflict, seems that the fever dream and delusions of grandeur are in the west.
Are they? It's difficult for me to tell given I have a language barrier and the vast majority of English-language information is obviously supportive of Ukraine. From what I have understood, it seems that Russia has gained a modest amount of land at significant cost in terms of human lives and internal political stability.
But I am also unsure how much I hear about the civil discontent is reflective of the actual Russian situation, beyond average pacifist sentiment. "Their society is in turmoil!" sorts of stories have been used in past conflicts to keep up public support for wars by making it sound like victory is around the corner.
Discriminating signal from noise in war media requires really active constant effort that I just can't maintain long term when there are so many conflicts. As much as I want to. I also think the whole thing has been lose-lose for people and the environment, but that's another topic altogether.
You have to move the goalposts further than even Putin has, in order to come up with the conclusion that Russia is winning the conflict.
Only in your dreams.
