You don't get it. And probably won't get it.Let's say Ukraine already lost no matter who wins Russia or NATO.
Russia already lost. The moment it attacked, it lost. It doesn't matter whether it will actually take Ukraine or part of Ukraine or will have to run away with its tail between its legs. Both ways it loses. It is going to be an isolated, pariah state, not being able to build anything more technological than a 1970s vehicle, with a ruined economy. A Nigeria with snow, as Brin famously said, a North North Korea. It has already lost. It is just refusing to acknowledge it. Yet.
