Just think of who is for Ukraine:
(1) Soros (2) every democrat including Brandon 3) every republican neocon having orgasms at prospects of war with Russia...
Ukraine may well look like Germany after WWII in 10 or 20 or 30 days, I don’t know. But for Russia to ‘win’ this war they either have to take over all of Ukraine or get Ukraine to admit they’ve been beaten and surrender. For Ukraine to win they just have to avoid losing.
I don’t think Russia wants to “occupy” Ukraine.
Russia does NOT want NATO on it’s border. Former comedian Zelensky was pushing for NATO membership since he came to power. He was misled by USA & NATO into thinking they would give Ukraine full support to become NATO member.
You probably too young to remember Cuban missile crisis. During JFK admin, Cuba became ally of USSR and was stocking up missiles. We did not want enemy weapons 90 miles from our border, so we INVADED SOVEREIGN country of Cuba 90 miles away by completely blockading entire Cuba and shut their ports down. It was nerve wrecking situation, with people afraid of starting WWIII. But Cuba wisely backed down and the missiles were shipped back to USSR.
Ukraine is not 90 miles from Russia border. It is right smack on Russia border. If Ukraine would have agreed to NOT seek NATO membership, the war could have been avoided.
