ukraine may be winning a battle, but russia is flat out destroying anything that stands, which will make it impossible to rebuild, restart, regrow anything for a generation or so.
this is not something for us to get glued to.

Too late, eh? And Russia will not forget that wrong-way Biden chose Ukraine. Win or lose, America will suffer for a long time.

Putin should be glad wrong-way didn’t back him.

An excerpt:

---

... The damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure alone exceeds $1 trillion, in a country whose national output did not reach $160 billion a year before the war started! Simply repairing the country would require six times the country’s national product, which of course is impossible.

Even if the money could be found, who would make the repairs? Before the war Ukraine had 45 million people on paper but only 33 million actually in the country, because half the adult population had left to work elsewhere. At least 14 million of those have been driven from their homes, and most of them will not return. After all, the Poles, Hungarians and Germans are short of people and will gladly accept immigrants from Ukraine rather than from the Middle East or Africa.

Russia gave Ukrainians enough time to leave their homes for the humanitarian crisis. And they pretty much telegraphed what their objectives are and the path they are going to take. After that, it’s pretty much bounce the rubble.

Yes, even if Ukraine is winning, it's pretty ugly. Even if they throw all Russians out 100% out of Ukraine, a helluva lot of damage has already been done, and it won't come back easily.
