          Advancing in a defensive war is typically winning, yes.

                Kinda. There are other wars, in other countries. But we are spoon fed Ukraine and China. Just countering media narratives hopefully to make people question the paradigm. Why are people homeless?

          You know a stale mate is a possible state of war. One side doesn’t always have to be winning and the other losing.
