actually, abetter way would be for Ukraine to revive the guerilla-style Partisan Campaign of WWII

fast hit-and-run sabotage operations all over the place, taking out critical Russian infrastructure and personnel, can do great damage and are almost impossible to stop (as the Nazis found out)

they’re also great morale-killers ... this war wasn’t too popular among Russians to begin with, and partisan warfare would really de-motivate the Russian troops (and public)

plus, it’s cheaper and doesn’t cost as many Ukrainian lives, while stretching the conflict to years, which slowly strangles Russia’s economy as it remains shut out of Europe’s oil markets ...

“win-win”!!

That worked out so well for the Chechens who now find themselves fighting for Russia. The Russians don't play footsies with insurgents the way that America does because they actually want to win the wars that they get into.

Is Canada loaded with child-like numbskulls like you?

That’s kind of what I’ve said from the beginning, Ukraine doesn’t have the manpower or armaments to win a conventional war but they could inflict real harm on the Russians by using a viet cong style guerilla war strategy and bleed them thru a thousand cuts

It actually was working in Vietnam.

Then the Viet Cong got cocky and came out in the open during the Tet Offensive.

It looked bad for us because of the sheer chaos, Walter Conkrite said so!

But eventually we were able to put them down. CBS never reported much on that, though.

After that, the Viet Cong was basically replaced by the Red Army of North Vietnam.
