Not an "impending" victory. That would imply that the war is close to an end.

A "continuing" victory. It's the USA neocons' intention to keep this war going as long as possible. To the last Ukrainian, if necessary. They can't win, they know they can't win, they're hoping that "something" will happen in Russia or China... collapse, regime change, something.. that makes a military victory irrelevant.

Anyway, to reinterpret your posts... let's (generously) say that what you posted was a warning, not a threat.

If you honestly believe that the USA, or you, would survive a nuclear war with Russia then y'all are a nucking futs.

In a writing contest between 6ix and the head Russian in charge of "Russia Today", the international propaganda branch of the Russian government, 6ix might be the winner for brevity:

Margarita Simonyan, the head of Russia Today (RT) and long-time Vladimir Putin ally, said on Sunday for Russians it is better to go fight in Ukraine and possibly die rather than live in a western-dominated world which she described as unbearable. Her arguments also invoked culture and biology.

‘One day I will be prohibited to put dresses on my daughters and to explain to my son that he is a boy. This is already happening in many countries. For me, it’s unbearable. For me, this is worse than war. Indeed, it’s worse than war.’

‘The world is at a dead end in terms of values, and the west is the cause and accelerating the demise towards the destruction of mankind, even without any kind of war.’

‘War has goals. Along with tragedies, pain and other understandable things, war has pride, the happiness of victory, and certain personal growth. There are changes in personality that lead to deeper self-awareness as a part of your nation, as a part of certain values and ideals.’

‘What does that ultra-liberal fascist trash have, I don't know. It spreads as an uncontrollable tumor, against which the chemotherapy is ineffective. If you allow it anywhere near your borders, before you know it, you'll be living in a country that is dictating that you must live a certain way. With our mentality, to live this way is unbearable.’

Simonyan also praised Russian President Vladimir Putin by saying that the world is changing for the better under his influence.

This is pure gold directly from Russia by way of Newsweek:

"Another 50 to 100 years and no one will give birth anymore. No one will be able to give birth. With all the hormonal therapies, with their pharmaceutical lobbies, with brainwashing the mentality of their own nation and others, their own people and their own empires."

Professor Dmitry Evstafiev posited that if Russia lost the war, the colonial-loving West would show off Russians in zoos like animals.

Hey... You're the one backing the side that's using the DHS to manipulate the information you ingest every day.

6ix, the same idea could be rewritten as Everything in the Mainstream Media is Fake News planted by the Dept of Homeland Security. If you rewrite, nearly everybody can tell that you are as articulate as the loony head propagandist at Russia Today.

I'm not the one going around telling everyone that the nudist, hippie, vegan, pro-Castro male prostitute that tried breaking out of the Pelosi's mansion was a MAGA cultist.

You are.

You can tell how badly things are going for us in Ukraine by how persistently SECOND tries to change the topic.

Anyway, back on-topic:

Deconstructing Western Delusions on Ukraine and Russia

3 November 2022 by Larry Johnson 153 Comments

Do you remember trying to comprehend the emphatic denial by Iraq’s “Baghdad Bob” (i.e. Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf) in March 2003 that there were no U.S. troops nor tanks in Baghdad? Most of the cable news networks juxtaposed Bob’s claim with live film of tanks rolling through the streets. Looking foolish was the least of his problems. Made me wonder what would lead a man of education and experience to so fiercely embrace a lie. The world witnessed the same phenomenon with Adolf Hitler during his final days in his bunker beneath the rubble strewn streets of Berlin.

Then comes Ukraine and Russia’s “Special Military Operation” and the spirit of Baghdad Bob is being channeled through a host of politicians, pundits and erstwhile experts. The following is an example (I am declining to name the writer to minimize further embarrassment to him) of the Baghdad Bob delusion:

* Russia right now is under extreme stress and Russian leaders are tense and unhappy. The operation in Ukraine has not only ground to a halt, but Russia continues to suffer agonizing losses of men and material. It has had to make secret deals with Iran and North Korea to have enough ammunition and supplies to stay in the war. Its home industry is too tardy and underfunded to be able to keep up with demands for urgent production of war goods. It has run out of soldiers, drafting middle age and older men and yanking prisoners from confinement to serve on the two main fronts of the Ukraine conflict. None of this has seemed to work. Every day Russia makes more military blunders and Putin has just fired one of his top commanders, General Alexander Lapin. While Russian opinion polls (which may be fake) claim Putin is still popular, he is facing a grim future if the losses turn into a complete route and the Russians have to evacuate Ukraine. In fact, Russian commanders are now preparing to evacuate the important city of Kherson, claiming that it is of no importance (which is complete nonsense).*

The gentleman who wrote the preceding paragraph is well educated, well spoken and a veteran of the U.S. Department of Defense. I have known him for a short time and know that he is not a liar. What stuns me is that he genuinely believes this. Maybe we should call this “Flat Earth Syndrome?” It consists of embracing as fact assertions that are contradicted by actual evidence.

I want to deconstruct some of his claims.

*The operation in Ukraine has not only ground to a halt, but Russia continues to suffer agonizing losses of men and material.*

The objective reality is that Russia has stepped up its aerial campaign and has destroyed critical power and energy nodes throughout Ukraine. How does that translate into “ground to a halt?” It is true that neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians have been able to move very far or very fast on the ground during the last three weeks. But that is because the fields and dirt roads are mud pits. If you want to move overland in Ukraine you need to be on a paved road and, if you do that, you make yourself a prime target for artillery and air strikes. Despite the rain soaked ground, Russian forces have continued to advance in the Donetsk, albeit slowly.

What about the “agonizing losses of men and material?” Last I checked it is Ukraine, not Russia, that is begging for more cowbell from the United States and NATO. And Ukraine is so short of able bodied soldiers that the mobilization that started in March was extended to November 21. Not my opinion, that is the claim of a Ukrainian official in charge of “recruitment” made just last week (October 24):

*The Ukrainian army needs additional troops so all men under 60, who are liable for military service, should expect draft notices, head of the Kiev City Center for Recruitment and Social Support Yury Maximov said.
