This won't do. Write me down a victory.

Wellington to Beresford.

As i said: "we believe every claim from everybody..." and a lot of wishful thinking too.

(By the way, Caltrek... I thought you were still looking for a, convenient, definition of "under siege").

That's right, a person is also ready to reject irrefutable and obvious evidence in order to preserve his illusory picture of the world in which he once believed.

*looks over his shoulder*

...and what does that have to do with the number of tanks Russia has lost?

Hmmmm...definite patterns emerging here.

Oh!...

Just that it is irrefutable and obviously evident that you are not busy looking for dictionary definitions so you can check every statement by everybody about those numbers.

President Zelensky has claimed his country could have already won the war against Russia if western allies had sent more weapons to Ukraine.
In his latest nightly address Ukraine’s leader suggested the conflict would have “already ended” if Kyiv had been supplied with more tanks and heavy weapons comparable to those used by Russia.

I thought Russia has already lost the war a few times over...
As far as we know, Ukraine is facing part of the Russian army...
More weapons an in a couple of weeks... all done.
Conclusion: it is our fault.

Is that a good definition for "wishful thinking" or for "fortune telling"?
