I guess our side has to clean out another 20% of their men and machinery to wake them up! The weaker Russia becomes the more opportunistic CHINA WILL BECOME!
I imagine these negotiations are only for show.
It seems logical that Russia’s immediate goal is eliminating the Ukraine Army in Eastern Ukraine. Its where the bulk of Ukraine’s Army is, and surprisingly, neither side’s propaganda talks about them at all.
I also can’t imagine Russia would stop until it has seized Odessa and cut Ukraine off from the sea.
The best thing for the US at this point is to have Russia locked long term into that meat grinder.
Meaning the military operation isn’t yet finished. 😏
