#33. The counter offensive in Kherson will take a few months, just as it took Russia months to conqueror and secure what it has. If Ukraine turns it around, China and India will have to make political calculations as to how far they are willing to take sides.

It will take another year to a year and a half, I really think Ukraine will win. The Russia military's demonstrated weaknesses are huge factor. This is not the great Russian bear of the Cold War and Reagan years anymore.

My guess is Russia had some very important reasons to go into the Ukraine. They may have included destroying the Nazis. They were everywhere raising hell all over the country/ there were many bio-labs all over the country that needed to be secured. The donbass which had been under attack since 2014 needed to be secured. Many of the residents have Russian sympathies. There are undoubtedly other reasons to go into one of the most corrupt countries in the world,the Ukraine.
Pedophila comes to mind as another possible reason to go there. It's likely only Putin knows all the reasons.
If they have made sufficient progress in dealing with the above they may leave,but than Ukraine is a historic mess. Who knows what will happen there.
