The Russians are already defeated, the day they were repulsed from Kyiv. Their face-saving argument of re-adjusting and focusing on Donbas region, is also unattainable. In fact, Russia will not be able to defend Crimea Peninsula - a long time under Russian military control since Soviet times. The thing is, Russia is no match for the technology that the West has provided to Ukraine - which in itself is dated to the technology that was designed to defeat the Soviet Union - The only modern weaponry that the West has provided to Ukraine is the shoulder mounted Anti-tanks. However, the artillery and rockets are from 1970s and 1980s, outdated, dumb-bombs. But still much more effective to take out Russians. The Americans are holding off providing the more modern smart weapons. You really are eating up the western propaganda machine aren't you. Russia has faced some setbacks in this war which has been less than a year. Russia is committed to a long term war with Ukraine and will not accept any face saving measures that do not include Ukraine not being primetted into NATO. All Russia wants to do is make sure Ukraine cannot join NATO and USA starts putting missile defense systems on its border...no way Putin is going to allow that. Russia job is to keep the war going and wear down the Ukrainians until THEY are ready to negotiate with Russia which will include THEM accepting to terms Russia wants. No amount of "advance" equipment is going to save Ukraine from this reality. After all we are not dealing with low I.Q Somalis who fight over pointless things here. Russia is a fully industrial power with a much higher I.Q than our Somali politicians...who are beyond worthless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
