“I think the war may end up in a stalemate. A little like the Korean War.”
That could very well be.

That could very well be.I think it'll end up with 500,000 military dead total (300k for Russia, 200k for Ukraine).

Meanwhile, the Ukies are finally withdrawing from Bakmut, suffering horrendous losses
Ever think it's a trap; a setup to lure in your friends? Russia has not really had too many successes lately; just a lot of propaganda and posturing.
And, why are you applauding any Russian successes? Like I said, FR needs to clean up the membership to eliminate the communist sympathizers, especially those supporting Russia and China.

Bakhmut is the key to Ukraines entire Donbas defense. The miles of trenches and tunnels are a massive defeat. Pulling back allows Russia the ability to come in behind other segments of the entire front.
Russia will declare the Special Operation over, and will then give Ukraine another 800,000 fresh troops in two separate Army groups INSTEAD OF 160,000 currently employed in Ukraine.
The western MSM is preparing readers for a possible collaspe of Uke Frontline forces who are war weary abit battle tested.
Ukraine is about taste defeat after defeat. Six weeks from now Ukraine will lose approximately 40 - 70,000 casualties.; Russia may suffer 2x but Ukraine will also see their Polish boarder sealed by troops from Belarus.

may be planning to retreat from the areaI've heard reports that the Uke generals realize they need to retreat to defensible positions. Unfortunately, the Uke political leadership still thinks they can save face by hanging tough in vulnerable areas.

There’s a good chance they have this all mopped up in a couple of weeks from now.I think the Western rulers try to save face by dragging this out.

MacGregor this week:
"...on the Russian side, the Russians are now capable of firing up to roughly 60,000 rounds a day, and Ukrainians are lucky if they can get six to seven thousand rounds out there in response to the Russian artillery attacks...
Almost 10 to 1.

Communism is more than economics. It is a system for maintaining power and controlling the population. Putin has been in power for 23 years. He is an admirer of Stalin. His armed forces fly the hammer and sickle flag. Russian changed the name of Liberty Plaza to Lenin Plaza. Opposition leaders are arrested or murdered.
