I think the Ukrainians have shown remarkable courage, resilience and tenacity in their existential fight for survival against the much larger, better equipped and trained invading nation state next door.

The Ukrainians have used whatever they had/have and whatever they’ve been given to wage their defensive war of survival against Putin’s conquest and they have greatly improved and invented entirely new technologies to successfully fight against frontline Russian tech and aviation.

They say it’s not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog and Putin picked a fight with a dog that turned out to be a honey badger.

As a result, Russia has used up their Cold War supply of tanks, artillery and ammunition and has had to rely upon the Chinese, Iranians and the Norks for weapons and ammunition and the Norks for additional troops. That’s not winning.

And the Russians are going through people as fast as they are tanks and artillery and for what? Even if they somehow beat Ukraine, there is no way they will win the peace with Ukraine for several generations, so the war will continue regardless.

Winning? Not so much … and if President Trump gets serious about aiding Ukraine to end Putin’s war? Then there will be pain that will challenge the average Russian’s willingness to accept any more of this totally unnecessary pain and suffering. I imagine they are getting close to that now.

I’m thinking karma is coming for the Vladster one way or another.

I think we are already in the next phase of the war.

We won't be seeing massive battles like Bahkmut or Avdiivka.

It'll be fought with mostly drones, missiles and artillery.

So they'll continue to fight but at a lower intensity.

I actually view the scenario involving a gangland-style execution of Putin by his own underlings as the most likely.

Regards,
