Idiot author makes some valid points all the while quoting a famous military strategist and ignoring the obvious: Russian forces have the Ukrainians in a pocket and all the Russians have to do is close it.......
Do you bother reading the article? Quote: The Russian military is still expected to triumph in the end, but the degree of Ukrainian societal mobilization may portend a long and vicious guerrilla war ahead—like one conducted by the Afghan Mujahideen, which drove the Soviet Union from that country in the late 1980s. If the war moves into guerrilla phase, the advantage could well turn to the Ukrainians, who are fighting for their homeland and can outwait Putin, who already apparently has an unpopular war on his hands--even before the costs lives and money start to mount the longer it lasts.
The Russians didn’t close the pocket.
