3. It might take much longer than expected, but unless there is mutiny and a coup in the Kremlin, the fall of Ukraine will only be a matter of time....
2 weeks ago I might have agreed with you. A week ago maybe. Now, no.
The soviets do not have infinite supplies of troops and materiel. They have lost much of both in the past 3 weeks with little to show for it.
Bombing and shelling civilian targets is an admission you can’t beat the enemy in the field.
You defeat the enemy in the field you win the war. pootie can’t do this with his inept cowardly army no matter how big it is.
But can the Ukes win? Yes. Lots of lethal aid coming from NATO countries. Continue to attrit the soviets for the next 10 days. When the soviets no longer have the offensive counter attack. Do not be surprised to see mass surrenders of soviet troops.
Could a ragtag collection of thirteen colonies beat the British Empire? Sort of, if they stick together and make things tougher on the big bad bully than he cares to put up with.
