If we keep supplying Ukraine with heroic amounts of gear (and money)....the best case is a Korea 2.0, with the Great Minefield of Ukraine forming the new DMZ, and Russia keeping what they've held.

If we stop supplying Ukraine....well, their economy is on life support (and maybe dead already), and their domestic military industry isn't capable of supplying their troops what they need....so worst case is likely a "soft capitulation", where the Russians get a laundry list of "wants", in exchange for not bombing their way to collapsing the Ukraine and then advancing to the Dnipr.



The only victory condition even remotely likely for Ukraine is if the Russians collapse internally (as a nation-state), and the Russian Army just leaves.  No sign of that, so far.



Russia's fucked, too.  Just in different ways.

Yup exactly. Both sides are currently making "great gains" which are being measured in the few hundred meters per day range. At some point ukraine runs short on men, and if the west finds so.e other shiny cause to focus on there goes the material. Russia is fucked 8 ways to sunday as well.

Whether you believe it or not it's true.

Putin invaded Ukraine with the intent to subjugate and conquer the entire country in a few days and humiliate the west. Not just the eastern parts and no, Kyiv was not a feint. He wanted the entire country and to drive Zelenskyy out of the capital. Nobody expected Ukraine to offer more than a few days or weeks of resistance and Russian propagandists publicly declared Ukraine would be annihilated. In Putin's Essay "On the historical unity of Ukraine and Russia" he claimed Ukraine belonged to Russia. That's Putin himself talking, not me. Russia also publicly declared on February 26th, 2022 that they had defeated Ukraine and "Ukraine had returned to Russia". It was soon withdrawn when Russia began to flee Kyiv after losing the battle. Nato is stronger and now has 2 more nations, including one former Russian imperial colony, and Ukraine is stronger.

Ukraine is the underdog and not on the level of Russia. They're a much smaller nation with a much weaker military. For people to say "Oh, they got billions yet they can't push Russia out, they're losing" is ignorant because it's the lightweight boxer going against the heavyweight boxer and winning. The puppet government Russia intended to setup with it's JBT FSB goons isn't happening.

Odesa? Still Ukrainian.

Kherson? Liberated.

Kharkiv? Still Ukrainian.

Kyiv? Still Ukrainian.

Bucha? Even more Ukrainian after the horrors VDV soldiers did to the people there.

Izium? Free.

Kupyansk? Free.

Balakliya? Free.

Urozhaine? Recently free.

Robytne? Freedom, 50% loaded.

The victory pathways for Ukraine are much larger whereas the pathways to victory for Russia are much narrower. Russia is seen as the more powerful country yet when faced with unified Ukrainian resistance fled the capital.

Ukrainian victory is retaining most of their country and surviving as a nation. A Russian victory is taking Kyiv and accomplishing the goals they set out to on 2-24-22. Russia was closest to those goals in the weeks around 2-24.

If Ukraine succeeds in breaking the land bridge from Crimea to the mainland-and I believe they will-Russia will have traded 250k men, another countless hundreds of thousands wounded, trillions in lost assets and military hardware, and political and economic isolation for a few clumps of land.

That is a victory for Ukraine and a defeat for Russia.

Putin has a personal desire to own Kyiv because of the history of the Rus and Kyivan rus and a need to re-write it. He also can't claim to be a Tsar without owning Ukraine.

As the saying goes:

Russia with Ukraine is an empire
Russia without Ukraine is just a country

Freedom?  Which side represents freedom?  

Having worked on major projects in both countries prior to the invasion, they are very similar, onerous former Soviet bureaucratic states.


Did you miss the Maidan Revolution? Did you miss the removal of Putin's murderous puppet, Viktor Yanukovych? You know, the guy who is now a guest of Putin and who he wants to restore the presidency? Where were you when the Ukrainian people risked their lives for freedom? When did the Russian people rise up against tyranny? They have always loved tyranny. I find it hard to believe you were there and don't have a clue what happened.


I worked with them post 2014. They are extremely difficult to work with, freedom isn’t a word I would associate with them. Everything needs layers of bureaucratic approval.
