I’d say the odds are rather high for that. The thing these virtue signaling Ukrainian supporters don’t get is that Ukraine does not have a professional army, any real strategy and they have to rely on a bunch of paper pushing Pentagon generals that don’t know jack chit about how to win. It’s all about weapon systems. Weapon systems alone will not win a war when facing an opponent that can one up any weapon until they are fighting with rocks.

It’s really ludicrous to think that Biden and the likes of Linda Graham can offer any cogent strategy for winning any war, especially against Russia. Quite simply, they have no strategy. They don’t even have an end objective to form a strategy.

They do have a professional army.
It’s been in continuous existence since its cadre split from the Soviet army thirty years ago. Its got all the usual army REMF stuff, arsenals, HR, logistics, ordnance, whatever.

It had a regular structure of brigades with garrison towns, etc. It had a conscription system and training system.

It’s expanded greatly, mostly in the “teeth” part, creating many additional brigades. It also called up a lot of militia units. Maybe that last part has misled you.

They can’t win, but they won’t lose.
