I'm no.... miltiary expert, but can someone with knowledge in that area, tell us if Russia or Ukraine are winning ?
...Ukraine will almost inevitably join both NATO and the EU when all is said and done...
Stopped reading right here. Reading this sentence reminds me of that one scene in Downfall, when Hitler is consulting with his remaining generals, and he points and commands armies that only exist in his maps.
The excuses people come up with to delude themselves to keep driving up this war is very sad. I would have said funny, but since people are dying because of the consequences of this thought process it's honestly depressing.
Good for you.
He's being very rude about it, but "when all is said and done" is doing a lot of work here. I write this as someone who appreciates your posts on this subject. Frozen conflicts can last for a long time.
Everything that I've read suggests that Ukraine's manpower situation is worse than Russia's, even as both face challenges but in that regard. But Zaluzhnyi's dismissal a few months ago seemed like a particularly bad sign.
