In less than a page you've went from "Russian victory is unquestioned" to "Well Ukraine might not be able to win ALL its territory back"👍
If they can't win the long game, logically that means they lose a war of attrition.
Russia has the gains here. If they lose some ground and men, they will still be ahead.

How much of Afghanistan did Russia control after a 20 year long war and when they were much more militarily powerful than they are now?
Ukraine isn't Afghanistan. Completely different logistics, Isis is entrenched there for a reason they took over almost as soon as America moved out.

Yeah. Easier logistics and yet they still can't make any progress. At this point they're literally using century old equipment and weapons.
Because the US feeds Infinity money and far more advanced weapons.
Which is resulting in a stalemate at best, and incremental losses at worst. How long will NATO fund them though? What happens when the US needs to ramp up its war machine for its own problems?
Ukraine will hold out as long as Nato supports them, while Russia can hold out as long as they need to.
From this point of view, one might wonder if Ukraine is essentially being used to vastly weaken Russia without committing any troops of our own.
"Ukraine’s deputy defence minister has confirmed that in some areas Kyiv’s forces are moving to “offensive actions”, heightening speculation that a counteroffensive is close to launch." -TheGuardian
Russia/Putin is calling any and all attacks on Russia as terrorism. Funny how that works with Rightist, forever victims.
Biden says threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is 'real
President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus.
On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible". -snip
When Biden warned that Russia was likely going to invade Ukraine, the Rightwing news, talking heads and many politicians here said he was 'fear mongering'. I'm sure they'll do the same with this warning.

Originally posted by Robtardit's not likely, but it puts us on the cusp regardless. The nuclear power station being wrecked is much more likely Rob.
I don't think this is the end. But Putin raging and using a small nuke on Ukraine out of butthurt because his "two week operation" is a year+ in now, it's possible, but I don't think it's likely.
