“There’s no way Russia wins over NATO. Especially given their many, many military problems from corruption, maintenance and lack of training. They’re stalemated and can’t even fully defeat the Ukrainians.”

You put too much faith into NATO which has expended a great deal of its arsenals in aid to Ukraine without affecting war in any meaningful way. Ukraine lost more armor than half of NATO possesses on a good day.

You maybe right. NATO has given up a lot—not just antitank weaponry—but ammunition and other arms.

But consider how much Russia has lost: Tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, ammunition and above all—that which matters most—men and leaders of men.

I stand neutral in this conflict, but I really do think Russia would be better off ending offensive operations and defending what they already took: Donbas and the Sea of Azov approaches to Crimea.

Let the Ukrainians spill their blood trying to attack fortifications along those lines.

I honestly believe the Ukrainians are best served acknowledging those territories as lost. Russia is least served trying to take more.
