> western Ukraine land is lost

Surely you mean eastern Ukraine?

Very typical of the Russian apologists not even being aware where the war is happening.

I suppose those oblasts could be seen as "western" from Russia's standpoint...

We’re surrounded!

I think it’s interesting that Russia has been using donkeys to transport equipment.

I wonder if in a year or two we’ll see them use catapults.

They'll deplete the stockpiles of their best weapons first: trebuchets it is!

pushes glasses up nose

I can’t decide whether to engage in an argument of a trebuchet being a catapult, or an argument about onagers being better than trebuchets.

How unfortuitous.

And I can't decide whether you are suggesting that an onager (Asiatic wild ass) or an onager (catapult) is better than a trebuchet.
