[quote]That and outside of the poorly planned initial attack Russia hasn't really even tried to gain that much land since this thing began. They sat put for well over a year.

[quote]The fall of Kiev? Odessa? Total surrender? Four oblasts? What does a Ukraine defeat look like? What does a Russian victory look like?[/quote]
Russia can't keep ships in the Black Sea, there's 0% chance they're within 2 years of taking Odessa. IMO, France would send soldiers to Ukraine before...

That's not far off. And again, we're talking about Cold War era bombs sent out on glorified kites.

Their military likely won't be strengthened during this war, but in the years after its entirely possible if not the most likely outcome that the equipment they are pulling out of storage will be replaced with newly manufactured equipment. Its unlikely that ...

Based on this message, and others posted recently... we can expect Kharkiv to fall imminently, right?
I mean if this is a crisis that Ukraine is simply ignoring, the collapse must be imminent. The lines should crumble soon, as in the next 30-60 days, right?...
