The opinions expressed are based on facts that are known but will likely be incorrect due to facts that are not yet known. I suppose turning Eastern Europe into a nuclear wasteland could be one form of defeat.
You guys are getting nervous lately. Is something big coming?
LOL
good article, thanks. This, from the article, explains putin’s attempts now to re-frame his war of aggression into him as a victim. It won’t work. This is putin’s war of choice and he is losing it:
“One way or another, Russia will have to keep fighting in Ukraine, either against the population, or against the Ukrainian army, and quite possibly both simultaneously. And as long as Kyiv sticks to its current line that demands Russian withdrawal before any concessions can be contemplated, there is not much Putin can do but carry grimly on.
The western powers will keep supplying weapons and money to Kyiv, and will not be lifting powerful sanctions on Russia any time soon. Once Europe’s energy dependency on it is greatly lessened, Russia has so little that Europe really needs, the US and Europe will be able to leave crippling sanctions in place with small cost to their own economies.
There is no way back for Vladimir Putin personally and he may even be indicted as a war criminal. His only political strategy is to make the war in Ukraine into something else - part of a struggle for Russia’s very survival against the “Nazis” and “imperialists” of the West who relish the chance to take Russia down.”
as opposed to zelenskys money grubbing gig?
This daily Ukraine BS is getting so old. They must believe they can create a false public narrative through delusionary daily installments of fake news. It’s likely a very expensive contracted DoD propaganda program paid for by us taxpayers.
