Russia is a huge country with resources. US could not win in Afghanistan; real us army, what makes you think Ukraine will win against Russia.

Russia is a huge country but a very poor one, with wishes and desires much bigger than their resources. It's military is the only thing going for them, but then, that military is being depleted of resources and assets and personnel, and eventually, they'll be no better off than the Ukrainian military.

The U.S. was 'winning' in Afghanistan, but the people at home became weary of spending men and resources. Russia also pulled out of Afghanistan after they realized that they couldn't win either.

Going to the peace table would guarantee a win for Russia and the Ukrainians are not close to giving up, even as they are suffering; which by the way, Russia is suffering big losses too and want to end the war now while they still have some sort of victory.

Uncle Sam can continue to support the Ukrainian effort for much longer than Putin can continue with his big losses. It's up to the Ukrainians if they want to call an end to the war, but as of lately, it doesn't look like they're ready to give Putin his victory. BTW, the losses are huge for both sides of the war, so, why aren't you mentioning how Russia too is suffering huge losses, or is it that you can't bring yourself to criticizing the Russians or Putin?

At start of so-called phase 3 Russia controlled 30% of the Donbas now it controls 65% in another 3 months it will control 100% and Ukraine army is almost broken; don’t believe the news. Handing a weapon to a person does not make them a solider i.e. think of it as a team game Russia as a bigger team once main team of Ukraine is gone that is it; combat power goes down exponentially no matter what weapons you give them it takes time to learn, service etc. (They don’t make the parts supplied externally).

Stop giving these fools false hope, even MSM and Biden etc. are starting to get it. Anyone with a brain knew this from the start...this not some woke shit or game its special military operation...if it becomes war...Russia will just carpet bomb areas it won’t even come to that.

Let me tell you a secret, Putin holds all the cards...nothing is going to change the trajectory.
