anglychanin.livejournal.comHow could I translate, please, "You seem to want to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory"
Normally, someone will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. For example, a last minute goal, Blucher's late intervention at the Battle of Waterloo, a boxer unexpectedly knocking out an opponent who was well ahead on points etc etc.
I think there must be a Russian equivalent to snatching victory which could be adapted.
