Way too early to call a winner.

How many more fuel depots does Russia need to destroy before Ukraine's capacity to wage war is exterminated?

What use are heavy artillery, tanks, etc. if you don't have fuel to use them?

How do you deliver resupply to your front lines if your trucks lack gasoline?

You are aware that the Russian gas pipelines continue to pump millions of dollars per day of gas into Ukraine as it is the only thing keeping the Russian economy from total collapse?

How will the Ukrainians keep the tank full? With the fuel that Russia is sending them.

[ BLEEP ] Scott Ritter. The more noise a shill makes, the more you know the swindler he's shilling for is in trouble.

Also, for #18, you clearly have the proper sense of humor that fits in on FR. ;)

So. Russia military has been exposed. It’s equipment isn’t maintained. The tactics are bad and from WWII. Logistics don’t exist. The stores of back up
Equipment have been sold off. Aircraft afraid to fly in Sam rich environment.
Completely lost the drone war portion already.

If this is victory…..they don’t want to experience defeat, and it’s not over yet

Do Ukraine's tanks run on natural gas?

and demonstrated Russian military prowess...

I think the myth of Russian military prowess has been pretty much busted in the past 30 days.

It has challenged the global reset.

Petrodollars are shifting.

That’s the Putin plan.
Possess a bombed out Ukraine.
Sell Russia’s natural resources to the ChiComs at 20% off.

‘Prowess’ may not be the appropriate word.

“Russia will have halted NATO expansion”

NATO hasn’t admitted a new member since 2004.

Anyone can apply, but admission to NATO requires 100% agreement and vote of current member nations.

Ukraine did go through the NATO “MAP” process, but didn’t apply for NATO membership until after Russia took Crimea and orchestrated the offensive in Donbas.

Those actions roughly doubled the percentage of Ukrainian’s desiring NATO membership to give/take 70%, or similar to the percentage who voted for Zelensky’s anti-foreign destabilization corruption strategies long being used in Ukraine.

During the formal SSR cold war, the distance between the USSR and NATO was literally inches to about 150’ft.

And the Warsaw Pact were subordinate, enslaved, and crushed by Moscow, while their geography was the staging ground for multiple bloodbaths, staging for roughly 250,000 pieces of armor and artillery, and included many of Moscows 55,000 nuclear warheads.

These former Warsaw Pact countries had no choice, as it was decided at Yalta (WWII), these would be gifted to Stalin, ultimately by team Roosevelt.

Ukraine’s NATO desperation has been rejected by several NATO nations.

Thus is an important point.

Ironically, if and when the Russian Federation and its subordinate CIS takes Ukraine back, it is actually Russia which will have eliminated such a large Ukrainian buffer zone with NATO, pushing subordinate CIS jurisdiction right up against NATO, as UA has long been rejected by NATO members, precisely to keep the Texas sized buffer.

It’s not that NATO members hate UA, but more they are really concerned about Moscows large 9 member, 22.5 Million sq km CIS, and its Beijing axis.

WHEN one becomes literate to how NATO admits members, and has formally rejected UA, the UA buffer still goes away, but actually due to Putin, not NATO.

Anyone remember Clinton’s War in Bosnia?
This one too will be forgotten as the only thing it did was take the focus off Biden.

You forgot “pedophile.” And, you forgot “husband to a Russian case officer/handler/wife.”

Oh, and you also forgot Scott Ritter was paid off by Saddam Hussein to help one of Hussein’s men produce a “documentary” designed to generate outrage against the sanctions on Iraq.
