I recall one crusty old Russian general responding to a question of how wars are ultimately won and lost, "They are ultimately won or lost by skinny kids in bad fitting uniforms with last-generation weapons deciding to fight, and not run away”.
Watching mostly male, privileged, usually middle class Americans spectating this war on their expensive phones and tablets, cheering as Brothers kill Brothers for their amusement has been one of the most disturbing insights into Western minds. Paying money online to get bombs and grenades signed with ''Die Orks" and "LMAO" "LOVE FROM TEXAS", and paying crypto coins to order whatever sick torture they want on captured Russian solders, but hey, its fine those aren't real people, its all just like those Disney Marvel movies, those are all evil creatures from some alien planet. Soon the new world Global order utopia will be here, where the brave diverse LGBTQ heroes of Ukraine with the help from Americas ''Shield'' have saved the world from those evil minions of Nazi supervillain Putin.
So one repelled assault against fortifications that have been building for 8 years; a city which is at least majority captured by not-Ukrainian forces.
Yep, seems like mostly information warfare to me - and the above example is clearly unusual.

Indeed sir. Good quote.

But a good writeup overall.
