Ukraine Can't Win the War

There is no realistic chance of total Ukrainian victory next year, or the year after that.

    They won’t have to. Sooner or later EU will continue the war for them since they now have completely lost their minds.

      Given the state of European industry, the only way EU will continue the war is with NAFO troll brigades.

      They absolutely thought they could force a regime change in Russia when the war started. Recall all the whole rouble will be rubble nonsense. The plan was to isolate Russia economically using sanctions and intimidate countries into not trading with Russia. Then Russian economy was supposed to collapse and people were gonna overthrow the government. This is why Europe went all in on the whole thing, they thought they’re gonna ride it out for a few months and then they’d get to plunder Russia after that.

      Of course that’s not how it went, and that’s when US started shifting towards the strategy of trying to make Russia bleed as much as they could. Europe ended up stuck following US even as it became clear that economic damage for Europe would be enormous.

      Now, it’s starting to become clear that the west failed to break Russia economically, and far from being weakened we’re seeing a much stronger and more assertive Russia emerge backed by the Global South. This is the worst possible outcome for the west, and Europe in particular.

    Right on schedule. We’ll be seeing them blaming Ukraine’s Asiatic horde blood for the loss soon enough.

      That’s the standard mode of operation for western media when discussing Russia. You just make up a goal and then state it as a fact. When people point out that nobody in Russia ever stated this goal, then you say Russians are lying. No need to wonder how you know what their goals are.

      Just so much blatant Russia propaganda in what used to be a respected liberal outlet. Absolutely disgusting to see this happen!

    The Biden Administration’s strategy is now to sustain Ukrainian defense until after the U.S. presidential elections in the hope of wearing down Russian forces in a long war of attrition.

    This strategy seems sensible enough

    Lmao, how utterly shameless. Imagine having to maneuver your military strategy around the elections of another country on another continent. Thank heavens Liberal democracy constantly undermines itself.

      Remember how they were laughing this up saying rouble will be rubble and all that.

        It was to be a short, victorious war, after which the plunder of Russia would follow, and the instant they failed their lib horde projected that to Russia.
