We're coming up on Month 5 of the fabled four week Ukrainian offensive that was to have pushed the Russians back to Moscow by August. The Ukranians are estimated to have taken more than a quarter of a million casualties, are almost totally out of armored vehicles and are largely down to attacking in waves like zombies by drugging their conscripted soldiers with methamphetamine. We've even seen the most blatant attempt at a CIA color revolution in our lifetimes in the form of the hastily aborted Wagner rebellion, and the company has since largely been absorbed into the Russian Ministry of Defense. And we've finally started seeing fatigue set in within the US political system as the normally cowardly cuckolds of the Republican party are now suggesting that pouring a third of the defense budget into the most corrupt country on earth might have been a bad idea.
Thus I ask, how do you think the conflict will be resolved?
One small caveat, since I haven't seen this mentioned much on the site. The Russians officially consider the United States a belligerent in the war, and won't accept negotiations brokered by the US government. Turns out lend lease isn't a trick that works twice.
Russia will no longer accept anything but total capitulation by Ukraine, and absolute neutrality going forward. The combined actions of the US and NATO has burned any chance at a negotiated peace down to the waterline. The only question is how many people Uk will feed into the artillery meatgrinder. Ukraine has already had over half a million dead, and continues to forcibly kidnap people right off the street. They are forcing women to fight, and are going after older men, and are trying to get male Uk refugees extradited from the countries they fled to when fighting started.
The wildcard here is the abject stupidity by the warmongers in the US and NATO, are they so stupid as to deliberately provoke a direct confrontation with Russia.
I don't have my hopes up; we have seen how fucking stupid our "elites" are.
