The point was never to win. The point was to back Russia into a corner and force them to bleed resources until they are ruined.
So far it is going pretty well for NATO.
Russia is making a gorrillion dollars selling oil to India who turns around and re-sells it to Europe at inflated prices. This proxy war has been the biggest self-own for Europe since WWII.
I have argued elsewhere that it is the end of at least one of Europe's biggest economies.
I don't disagree with you.
It isn't possible to keep Ukraine out of Russian hands. This is an existential situation for them, and they are a nuclear power.
If the objective is to ruin Russia then how is it going well? France/Germany are demolishing their nuclear plants afaik, so there's no light at the end of the tunnel for reindustrialization.
The objective is to destroy Europa as a whole. Just as it was for WW1 and WW2.
I don't disagree.
Bleeding Russia for resources is expensive and ultimately counterproductive.
I think that the real benefit is for certain parties to skim off the top.
This whole debacle is the end of Germany both as a western power and a cultural group.
