The cards that Russia is holding has become a house of cards. The Russian economy is collapsing. No, I do not mean overnight, but it is hard to see how Putin can continue for another year. Russia is also taking unsustainable casualties. The Russian population is not unlimited. And what you and Putin do not seem to understand is that the Ukrainians are fighting for their lives. Do not think that it only Zelensky. It is the entire nation.
Time for us to help Ukraine. The cruel and barbaric Russians must be stopped.
Fighting for their lives? Ukrainians can leave for Poland and Romania pretty much any time the trains run.
As for talk of economic collapse, and pretty much all talk of economic collapse at any time whatsoever, it is not defined. No one ever defines economic collapse. There is powerful defense for the concept that the only economy for mankind is calories so the only collapse there can be is starvation. Zero evidence of empty grocery store shelves in Russian cities. Nor Kiev’s. Pretty much this is all that matters economically.
You have no idea what the casualty counts are. Don’t pretend otherwise.
” It is the entire nation.”
Except for the millions who ran to Poland and other places.
