Apparently, it is you who is having a problem. Everyone in the world expected Russia to be in Kiev in 3 days and have Ukraine under control in a week. Yet, 3 years later Russia is buying arms from North Korea, they are sending untested North Koreans to become cannon fodder in war, the Ukraine has completely knocked out the vaunted Russian Black Sea fleet, Russian is sending troops who are on crutches to fight in the front line, AND Ukraine actually controls a small amount of Russian territory. Add to that, the best and the brightest young minds in Russia have fled the country.
And not a word of this refutes the simple fact that Zelensky doesn't have the dudes, the guns or the money to push the Russkies out of the Ukraine.
Further, Russia’s actions have led even more counties, like Norway and Sweden, to join NATO. That’s a really good thing.
Yes. The nordic countries finally figured out what time it is.
BTW, the Swedes and others are actually arming up; perhaps the other european powers could look to them as an example.
Russia is near the end of their rope. Russia has to be held in check or they will just keep invading countries to fulfill Putin’s dream of restoring the Russian Empire. Instead of browbeating and trying to humiliate our allies, we should continue to support Ukraine with the weapons they need. It’s an inexpensive way to keep a world war from starting.
So this plan is to keep on going? What's your endgame? The Chinese and the Norks are propping up Putin. China is happy to keep the West's focus on the Ukraine and the Norks are happy to send people they can't feed anyway to die.
From a dudes, guns and money standpoint, the Russians have more in 2/3 categories.
It will also allow us to focus, as much is realistic to do, on a much more dangerous adversary, China.
Ending this thing quickly is a better way to refocus on China.
