The too long; didn't watch:
Russia started out strong and has gotten weaker.
Ukraine started out weak and has gotten stronger.
The longer Ukraine can drag it out, the bigger their changes of winning.
Ukraine hasn't yet conscripted anyone in the primary age.
Ukraine can not win a war against Russia by themselves. I don't care what strategy they use. They need the rest of the world of the world if they want to "win"
His point was that they don't have to try to win. They just have to stay an expensive, dangerous, nuisance for long enough that the Russians get frustrated and go home.
Like the Soviets (and, later, NATO) in Afghanistan, the USA in Vietnam, etc.
That's the way almost all wars are won.
Also, even if they were to capitulate, now, and Russia could stroll right up to the Polish border, Russia can't hold Ukraine.
Russia has 4.5x more population and presumably, men to fight. This whole shit show is a massive waste of money and life. I would like to see Russia punished but I don't want to be involved. Ukraine needs to be a member of NATO, unless we want a forever war over there.
Numbers are not the main thing. The Taliban bet the Soviets and then went on to beat NATO. 🤷🏻♀️
The Too long didn’t watch is total nonsense.
Russia has gotten stronger during the war.
They’ve gone from producing half a million artillery shells per month to over 4 million per month. An 8x increase.
That represents an increasingly robust and growing military production base.
Manufacturing and supply base wins wars, not hopes and dreams.
Ukraine is fucked and going to wind up being the size of Kosovo.
Ukraine isn't fighting a war with Russia. NATO is with US weapons. Ukraine is already dead.
So there are people who still think Ukraine will win with whatever definition of winning? 😀
And i am not talking about him, he knows he lies (probably).
Some people in the west hope that russians are tired and some miracle will happen and Russia will have a different government that would like to destroy Russia for the benefit of the west, so they try to push a lityle more. And for that hope they want younger ukrainians to fight and die for their proxy war. The thing is that the more the west push, the more the west is weakening, which is a good thing. The problem is, that happens to the expense of lives, ukrainian lives mainly.
Defnitly. I also follow npub1qzx4xhs4epjazel5adjaq85lff29ya5nnn3tz3lsq3lw2cwhwn0ssr9akp , which always posts intresting updates on the war. Clearly it is Ukraine biased. But I think it gives a lot of information ablut the war from a ukrainian perspective with a lot of videofootage.
