“Zelensky needs to explain how he’s going to win the war. Just killing more Russians isn’t good enough.”
I am not sure I agree with this. People tire of wars that kill people and bring no victory. Russia attack has been dragging out into the destroy, kill people standing in bread lines, loose a lot of money and equipment, far faster than expected. Zelensky doesn’t have to win right now, just dragging it out and the world will look away when direct fire weapons come in. The person who needs to win quickly is Putin.
First of all, thank you for disagreeing with me without name calling and personal attacks. That’s becoming a rarity even on the FR. (I’ll get torched for saying that!) In response to your reasoned remarks, I think you’re assuming Putin will be rational and will make his assessment based on the cost versus benefits of prosecuting the war. Think about Hitler and how he endured loss after loss on both fronts and never wavered, as far as we know, from his desire to wage all out war. I pray that you are right but the answer is something neither of us can know: who is Vladimir Putin?
