>>17579014You put too much emphasis on the battles and who wins what engagement. That’s not what war is about.
Russia is fielding tanks from WW2 and has resorted to cheap drones to strike at civilian centers. The war crimes tribunal post war will destroy Russia.
Furthermore the Russians have essentially entered their Vietnam with no clear objective for what constitutes a win. If they take the capital it won’t matter. WW2 didn’t suddenly end after Berlin was stormed by the Russians. What makes you think that war is like some game of capture the flag?
Even if they pen all the way into Ukraine the rest of the world will crash down on them.
Did you forget that Russia has been vilified globally except for China?
That’s not what keeps a country running and if the Chinese join they’ll get slapped too.
You seem to have this fantasy of the Russians overrunning the Ukrainians in some cinematic battle that doesn’t prompt America or NATO to join the fight.
Complete and utter delusion.
