How the war ends in 2024: A complete collapse of the current Ukrainian regime AND army.
They’ll look strong until that moment of sudden collapse.
If Russia had shown more competence it would have already occurred.
True. But Russia's main aim of the SMO was to bring UKR to the negotiating table. That worked until NATO intervened and scuttled the impending ceasefire agreement.
NATO hoped to degrade Russia more at the expense of many thousands of UKR lives and many billions of USD.
In the end, what will soon be achieved could have been achieved without bloodshed. But NATO was thirsty for blood.
Sure, Russia could have crushed them hard.
Maybe Putin actually has a heart and wanted to limit damage and death.
I see. When do you project there will be another coup against Putin’s fascist regime in Russia?
Agreed on both counts.
