[Russians have air dominance, that is why their columns can just sit there.

Russians have been avoiding civilian casualties so far. They have been moving slowly and deliberately.]


Agreed. I feel for the Ukrainians, but IMHO, their goose is cooked, unless some deux ex machina factor appears out of thin air. If Biden suddenly decided to provide a NFZ over Lviv, and Zelensky moved his capital there, I could see a rump Ukrainian state surviving. I’d love to be wrong, but things are looking pretty grim for Ukraine as a sovereign state.

The numbers of civilian casualties we’ve been hearing, three here, six there.

Heck, we wiped out a family of six with one drone strike

The Russians have also been telling people where the strikes will be, and telling the civilians to clear those areas.

These civilian numbers have been low.

And potentially risk an escalation involving nuclear weapons?

I agree—looks grim. They should make a deal with Putin. Let him have his land bridge and all. Move all the Russian favoring Ukrainians there and the anti Russian Ukraine’s to the cut down State—Make a good deal and get some reparation’s! Putin will not live forever—and a better deal could be had in the future. The war and some blood soaked land isn’t worth it—That what will happen in the end.
