I’m overlooking nothing. You seem to think the Russians aren’t aware of what’s going on? You think the exact reverse isn’t true? Those magnificent Ukrainians were totally beaten until massive quantities of the best, highest tech weaponry in the world showed up. Yes, the Ukrainians are cannon fodder in worst sense of the world. This would have been negotiated last spring if the globalist warmongers in Brussels and DC had subverted the process and escalated up to the most advanced weapons on earth. Now, after six months of unnecessary killing we are where we would have been with a negotiated settlement. Russia will incorporate those four areas, dig in and wait for a NATO Fulda Gap type attack. Hopefully, that’s where it ends, dangerous, trillions of dollars a year, stalemate.
“...Ukrainians were totally beaten...”
That is demonstrably untrue. The Ukrainians have taken out great quantities of Russian light armor using obsolete RPGs and LAWs. They often have to save the Javelin’s and smart rockets for the highest threat vehicles and MBTs.
You have become completed perverted by Moscow’s expensive propaganda campaign. Otherwise, you would see who uses troops as cannon fodder and that would be pedophile Putin.
