The Russians sacrificed a good chunk of their maneuver capabilities in the attacks on Kiev and Karkov. They have major problems with logistics, training/troop quality, and equipment. They aren’t getting near Odessa in the near future, if ever.

The Russians are fighting a war against the US and NATO minus boots on the ground.

That's crap. Because if it were true, NATO airpower would have absolutely wrecked the Russian advance long before this.

When you are not fighting NATO ground forces, NATO air forces, or NATO naval forces, you are not fighting NATO. The most that can be said that the Russians are fighting some NATO equipment, and NATO-supplied intelligence.

Yes, Russia is crap.

BUT, having said that. The truth is, no army can win a war under the current rules of war.

This was done on purpose in my opinion so that WW2 really would be the war to end all wars that WW1 was supposed to be.

The Russians absolutely WILL control everything east of the Dnieper river and the entire Black Sea coastline and there isn't anything that will stop that.

Kharkiv, the second largest city in Ukraine, is only 25 miles from the Russian border, and about 170 from the Dnieper. But the Russians still aren't anywhere close to taking it.

So good luck with your prediction!

Soros has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. That’s crazy.

Slowing and stopping the Russian advance is step one, finding weak points in the line and counterattacking is step two, beyond that we will see what happens.

In May 1942 the Allies were retreating and suffering horrific losses, by December 1942, the situation was different.

And by the end of the next month, when Ukraine still hold Odessa, Kharkive, and Melitopol, your fantasy world will come to an end.

While there may be some truth to this, Foreign Affairs is an official organ of the MIC Deep State.

Convince me otherwise.

And all the other sides involved (and there are several) don’t have the average American’s best interests at heart, either.
