Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it.

Where are you hearing that? I have not heard that Russia is taking a pounding and so is Ukraine.

Right now, it's a stalemate.

It is a war of attrition at this point and if it drags out long enough, Russia wins because they have more people to throw at the war.

I do not think the F-16 is going to make a large difference in the war. People who never served are the ones thinking it'll change the war.

The question is how long can the Russian soldiers hold out? I do believe once Ukraine breaks through the lines will collapse quickly but they've yet to break through.

I do think NATO has done a disservice in training the Ukrainian military to fight a combined arms fight but then not supplying them with the weapons to fight a combined arms fight.

I personally think Ukraine will win but it is going to be a long fight.

At the moment Ukraine is winning.

When Trump is crowned GEOTUS, after the Repubs win 2024 ( the economic rug-pull in 2024 will remove the Dems, through backlash-vote ) then the tide will turn, as the gutted remains of NATO/OTAN try to understand how to endure as the TOTAL global geopolitcs table got thrown, violently, on its side, scattering all the playing-pieces, all the indicators, EVERYthing gets flipped, then.

GEOTUS Trump will back Russia & Saudi Arabia, both.

Possibly China, as well ( he does have investments in China ).

The remains of the Western-cultures' alliance are then on their own.

US Civil War Part2 will probably destroy about a quarter billion lives in North America within 14y,

and ww3 begins a mere 7y after Trump's crowning ( +/- 1 year ).

Things are going to be VERY tough in Eastern Europe, with the US pouring its support into exterminating the former Soviet Bloc countries who oppose Putin/Russia, with the US backing Russia.

Wait & see.

It's going to be hell, on Earth, for almost-all of this century.

The drastically quicker-than-simulated sea-level-rise isn't going to help, particularly since Greenland's meltwater will drown the North Atlantic coasts ( it takes 1000 years for it to redistribute to near Australia. The 1st few centuries it'll be predominantly drowning the West ), and when you add enough water to raise the PLANET's sea-level by 1 metre, but you put it ALL in the North Atlantic...

it may well be 3m around the North Atlantic, this century.

( there is a powerlaw underlying planetary heating, current atmospheric CO2 requires the planet to equilize at more than +5C.

When you add-in the anthrogenic methane, as CO2 equivalent, the planetary equalization temperature is more than +8C.

All the "+1.5C" and "+2C" are baseless delusions, contradicted by historical data of the last couple million years. )

Anyways, eyes-open, calibrate, prepare, & earn making oneself competent for what is guaranteed to come, right?

Russia is successfully and deservedly shitting on all of NATO's weaponry, warfare and weapon manufacturing capabilities. They won the war long ago, now it is just being dragged. I see a lot of western liberal liars in comment section.

Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.

Last I checked, Russia did not erase any country. However, Blackrock, a private US firm, is acquiring and selling Ukraine's land. You should be worried about US/NATO-backed Israel terrorist state that is genociding and erasing the country of Palestine.

This is exhibit "A" of how the U.S. fights it's proxy wars.

They could provide enough support to kick the shit out of Russia.

But, the World politics doesn't fit that twisted & ridiculous narrative.

I'm not a conspiracy type. However, it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn't provided everything possible to push Russia out.

IMO: actual full U.S. support pushing the limits of "war", would end this insanity in short order.

I don't think Russia has any chance of winning. The only reason Russians are still in Ukraine is because the west is too pussy to ship the real guns.

This makes you wonder whether people benefit from this or its trully a valid strategy not to bug squash the bully cause they might go mental.

Either way, the war doesn't have to end through military or peace agreements. Russian economy seems to be ending first. As grim as that sounds but maybe that'll get Russians caring.
