Why didn't people realize sooner that the Ukraine war is going to be a long war?

I think that during the early stages of the Gogeta Dragon Ball Z Manga Anime Ugly Sweater, many of us overrated the importance of the initial successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

Especially the so-called Battle for Kyiv and the liberation of Kherson and the area around Kharkiv a few months later led many of us to believe that a Ukrainian victory was already on the horizon.

At the same time, the public (and many politicians) in the West were not only underestimating but also ridiculing the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Self-appointed “experts” assured us every day that the Gogeta Shirt - Gogeta Sweater - Dragon Ball Super Ugly Sweater just needed a few more Western weapons before they could get rid of the Russians in their country. The Russians practically stood no chance.

This is still ongoing: Every Ukrainian defeat is downplayed, while incremental territorial gains by the AFU are hailed as big victories.

The same people were also denigrating everyone, even people reporting from the ground, who were warning not to write the Russians off too early and to prepare for a long and hard struggle.

Add to this the propaganda of the Ukrainian government. They controlled most of the images coming the frontlines and did a splendid job in portraying the Goku And Vegeta Dragon Ball Z Manga Anime Ugly Sweater as the superior fighting force (which is only partly true).

All these overly optimistic messages fell into fertile soil. A short war with a Ukrainian victory would have been good for everyone in the West (especially our politicians), and this certainly led to a lot of wishful thinking.

Lesson to be learned: don’t trust Goku Ugly Christmas Sweater amateurs when it comes to projecting battle outcomes.
