    Russia is winning now, and hasn’t fielded the “real kit” either. NATO just does not have the productive capacity to field a long term war. I’m not sure why warmongers like yourself keep thinking there’s going to be a grand turning point, in a decade when we look back on this event I fear the warmongers will say they knew the outcome all along.

        There is nothing militarily nato can do. Even if different countries wanted to help more and actually fielded armies, it would be a stalemate. Only a political solution will work.

            Because it doesn’t have the power to take down an industrialized nuclear power like Russia in a short term war. I don’t see what you’re imagining here.

                Because western countries do not have the industrial capacity for a long-term war nor the ability to topple a country as large as Russia in the short term.

                    I never dodged anything. No power on the planet has the ability to overtake a country as large as Russia, a nuclear-armed Russia at that, in a short-term war. Invading Russia is notoriously difficult, and the neighboring countries with land bridges do not have the ability to field a large offensive, except China, which is an ally.

        Not at all, and I don’t think ableism is a substitute for a point. I want the war to end, which means peace talks now and concessions from Ukraine.

          Why should they concede anything. They’re a sovereign nation, and owe nothing. The war can end right now by Russia returning back whence it came.

            Because they are losing the war. The world does not run on Marvel-logic, Russia isn’t going to stop until their stated goals are met.

              They may be “losing”. But Russia isn’t entirely “winning” either.

                  How much ground does Russia have now at day 1000 ish vs day 3 of their invasion of a sovereign nation?

                    They currently have all of Donetsk and Luhansk, and are gradually encircling Kiev’s forces in the other 2 oblasts.
