Ask yourself what the alternative is and what a successful outcome for Russia will enable for Putin!

Ask yourself if there is a possibility of Ukraine winning.

Did North Vietnam win over the USA? There’s a good communist counter-example for my hexbear comrades!

And also, whether Ukraine can win (probably not) is less consequential to Europe than it is to Ukraine. But the cost of Russia’s assumed victory is helping to determine whether Russia wants to try again, against another country.
