The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Are the Ukrainians winning in your mind? Do they have enough wherewithal to seize all their territory back? - Dope

----------------------

Ordinance we can give them, but they are running out of infantry, not all casualties either. There are lots of reports of desertions, military age men hiding from the draft, low morale, nowhere near ready to kick Russian ass.

I watched an interview, on the network that shall not be named, with a pundit discussing Ukraine and prospects for various outcomes. He seemed to know his stuff. One observation he dropped was that Ukraine has suffered so many casualties already, that an entire generation has been effectively wiped out. Whatever peace they arrive at will necessarily require security guarantees by third parties, not NATO, because Ukraine is so depleted demographically they will be unable to defend themselves for quite a while, if ever.
