Even if the Ukrainians aren’t winning this war and even if they lose, the Russians will not have ‘won’.
—————
Not in agreement. Vlad has already won. Eastern and Southern Ukraine is in rubble, it will take years to rebuild cities, infrastructure, airports, bases, depots.….which means time and money ( from US taxpayers no doubt) not spent for the Ukies rearming. Vlad has , per his speech, mostly denatzified Ukraine, and close to demilitarizing Ukraine.
Sovereign Russia is untouched, they have need of nothing, food, gas, oil, NG, metals, commodities, etc.
If you refer to casualties, you don’t know the Russians, they bury their dead then move on. The Ukies will bury their dead, then have to take a decade to rebuild ( ten percent to Joe).

Every three letter "news" outlet is completely for Ukraine, and we get fed daily stories about Putin's cruelty/descent into madness, and how Putin's forces are getting the sh!t beat out of them.

Considering the sources of these stories, I have concluded that Putin is winning big-time.

The drooling idiot in this video (Ritter) is now calling the failed attack on Kyev a ‘feint’.

Roflol.

He had just gotten through saying the the Russians thought the Ukrainian troops were going to stay in their Barracks.

That was a very expensive ‘feint’ in terms of men and material !

The loon Ritter has nothing of value to say !

"Denatzify" has no military meaning. It is a propaganda word.

Demilitarizing? I do not see it. If the foreseen encirclement and destruction of the Ukrainian forces is successful, then, maybe.

The problem is Russia is losing military material about as fast as the Ukrainians, which makes it a pyrrhic victory.

When he destroys Ukrainian capacity to make weapons, he is destroying capacity which was used to arm Russia.

Maybe he is after natural resources. There might be a win there, but it is too early to tell.

————
Political value. When I worked in Moscow the WW2 victory celebrations were and still are legendary events. Denazify has little meaning to modern day west, but has huge importance to the Russian people.

———-
Fact is it was a victory ( great? No- time will tell) in regards to the Ukies having to move forces to defend Kiev.
That allowed Ivan’s huge gains in the southern ( Mariupol) and East.

Yea, and it’s funny how some here are oblivious to the nightmare we drove Ukraine into.

When standards are lowered to the level of Thaddeus Russel and Scott Ritter, it may not show which side is right while definitely showing who is wrong.

I thought so too. I don’t believe Putin intends to take anything west of the river, but his move toward Kiev made Ukraine defend it with troops and weapons while Russian troops solidified their objectives.

I may be wrong, but that’s how I see it.

I don’t favor either dictator in this war.

This is absolutely about natural resources. This is textbook Russian banditry as practiced for hundreds of years. Russification is already happening. Stalinist goon squads deployed, Ukrainians deported to the gulag, etc. We’ve seen this movie before from Russia.

Ritter should be the go-to guy for anyone interested in an honest, expert analysis of this war.

Not in agreement. Vlad has already won.

There is no way he has won, and there is no way he can win.

Russia is and was a weak country economically, and it's the economy of a country that determines the ultimate strength of its military. A weak country cannot hold onto its territories for long. The people of the territory(ies) will look for self-government or assistance from others or will allow themselves to be taken by others. Russia is in a losing proposition. Russia cannot win, even if they are successful in Ukraine.

When the war started, I thought an agreement would probably be reached by the end of April with Russia getting most of what it really wanted—the Donbas and a non-NATO Ukraine. It’s taking a little longer than I expected. I still think they’ll get the territorial gains, but I think Ukraine will join NATO. Finland and Sweden are probably going to end up in NATO which Russia would prefer not to happen, but since I don’t believe Russia has ambitions of invading there, I doubt Russia is very concerned about them joining NATO.

This is absolutely about natural resources.
————
Absurd. Russias land mass is 11 time zones, from the Baltics to Alaska. Chocked full of natural resources. Russia is self sufficient, it has everything the west needs, food, grains, wheat, gas, diesel, oil, NG, water, metals, commodities. They are in need of nothing.
