“I was just saying NATO is incompetent.”

Roughly half of the old Soviet arsenal has been destroyed, without the loss of a single NATO Soldier.

“the question I have is why is this war taking so long to resolve itself?”

Because of the sheer size of that old Soviet arsenal, and NATO planners desire to keep the level of conflict below the nuclear threshold, until that arsenal could be largely expended or destroyed.

That is the likely end state - Russia castrated of its conventional Military capacity, and too poor to restore it in a decade, without North Korean-style sacrifices in the standard of living, and personal liberties.

That Damoclean Sword of Russia’s huge fleet of old tanks and mountains of Artillery will no longer hang over NATO’s head.

Lol goes with any large institution with different values and individual wants,desires, and strategic goals
Turkey was doing what it did because that was the only leverage it has

Hungary in regards to the EU, another large institution with disparate goals is playing the same card though I think there is a bit of russi love there too

I think like in most areas a threat brings bickering groups together at least for the duration of the crisis
