Right on target, you just can’t fight Russia on one hand and then expect them to be generous and supply you with what you need. I have a hunch that sooner or later Russia will persevere anyway in spite of the west trying to prolong the conflict for as long as possible, primarily encouraged by a war mongering bunch of idiots in the US administration who realize that the next elections may not be in their favor and what better way than to get involved in a war. Aside all that in my humble opinion, which doesn’t mean much to begin with, I feel in case of the Ukraine conflict that Russia is more right than wrong.
You have very wise opinions, sir!
Very good post.
