Our Hope is that Russia or Putin will fail internally, 300K plus dead? Thousands of tanks destroyed. And the cost to rebuild Ukraine if they win. If Russia wins Russia loses.
Russia has no intention of rebuilding Ukraine. The intention is to depopulate Ukraine, putting the people into slavery in Russia. That clears the land and waters for resource extraction, wheat, oil and gas.
About as subtle and civilized as a 17th century Boyar acquiring new land.
Why would Russia front a nickel to rebuild Ukraine?
Wouldn’t leaving it in ruins make partisan resistance fighting harder if the Ukes are struggling just to eat and keep warm?
LOL! You don't know history. Hitler invaded Russia in order to get control of Russia's oil fields. He too thought he could beat Russia by murdering thousands/millions of their people. A new 2020 statistic claims that between 15.9 and 17.4 million Russians died at the hands of the Nazis. What Hitler didn't realize that the Russians had that number, and millions more that ended up kicking his ass out of Russia, all the way back to Berlin. Hitler failed to realize just how vast Russia was, and how many people were still left in those regions to fight against him. He ran with his tail between his legs, and helped make Germany dependent on Russian energy sources for the next 70+ years.
