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.

Russians are still negotiating, they are basically pointing the gun at Ukraine, but they don’t want to shoot. But either their brains or their signature will be on that piece of paper.

Which should be obvious especially to anyone on Free Republic. If Russia wanted to obliterate Ukraine - they would’ve done so already. Ukraine literally cannot stop them. If the mainstream media’s spin throughout this was that Russia is being humanitarian and precise, everyone would believe them.
