The plan is as it always was, as it has been for any invaded country facing a force much more powerful: bleed em, make it expensive, every enemy killed now will not be available to enforce occupation, and the bleed will continue in the occupation. Heck, it’s the same plan the USSR used against Nazi Germany. And had used against them in Afghanistan. It’s effective. It sucks. But it works.
Russia has lost the war, they lost it when they couldn’t take Kyiv.
This is no scenario that Russia wins this war, only how they are going to lose.
Can it be only six weeks ago that some here were ready for Putin to throw in the towel and take his loss?
To me, it looks like he got his trillion dollar armed robbery pulled off and even thinned out his top heavy military in the process. Never under estimate the brutality of a KGB mastermind.
