Russia has already won because it holds all the cards.

Economy, military industry, manpower, corruption dealt with, they learned from their previous bad assumptions, and will now use Russian Army doctrine that will only advance under the umbrella of ISR and IADS. It will be a meat grinder, slow and sure.

Ukraine has no economy, will soon run out of ammunition, NATO and the US don’t have the military production capacity to make a difference. General officers are already talking about that.

In the simplest of terms, there is no path for Ukraine to win. Everyone is going to get a lesson on Clausewitz from their living rooms.

Thank you. I value your opinion.

"It will be a meat grinder, slow and sure."

Like pond water. That's a great tactic! Putin is "genius" and "very savvy." His army is very wise to concentrate especially on the likes of Clausewitz. Psychologically and politically brilliant. May the Prussians always do so. It worked so well the last three times.

I won't be publicly arguing details much. Putin's government and army are doing just fine so far and won't be changing much except maybe to commit more war crimes and dig their hole deeper.
