You have no idea what you are talking about. Ukraine only has very limited access to a select range of defensive NATO weapons. It does not have the thousands of aircraft and 1,000+ stealth jets that NATO has, or the navies, or the cruise missiles, PrSM, GMLRS-ER etc. It certainly isn't WW3, that would be nuclear and nobody wins that and everyone dies. Putin knows he would lose a conventional war, that's why he keeps making nuclear threats/bluffs. Maybe we'll let him punch himself out first and then rollover him.yeah they are idiots, they lost more ppl than germans in ww2 ,does that mean their victory is irrelevant & useless? why dont fan boys like you accept that its NATO vs Russia, not just ukraine. Nato & US has provided military support worth nearly $60 billion thats nearly the defence budget of russia. As a matter of fact we can say its ww3 , nato vs russia.
It took so long for you to accept it.
Suppose say they lose another 50k , totaling to 80k in the process taking over 50% of ukraine ( which is bigger than france) it is still a big deal. It is a body blow to ukraine to lose sea access and half the territory.
Problem with west when they start losing they keep changing goal posts to fit their russia is losing narrative. If russia says it is going to kill ukraine but ends up short of killing but maiming it severely in the process , does that mean ukraine has won bcos it survived as a crippled country ? If thats the wests definition of victory russia would be happy to accept it. It gives them another 10-15 years of time to build up for next round of conflict.
That Ukraine has some neo-Nazis in it, just like Russia and every other European nation?
They will lose more than 80k taking have of Ukraine, given that it took them a month to gain a few km in the Donbass and they lost Kharkiv in the process, which actually negates the achievement.
Russia will lose because the sanctions will never be removed whilst they remain in Ukraine, and Ukrainians will never stop fighting. So he will be losing economically, whilst losing copious amounts of military assets and personnel in the field. No Ukraine with Russian troops in it will ever see Russia trading with the EU.
But yeah, he did go for all of Ukraine but then focussed on the little bit in the bottom left where the borders are shaped highly advantageously for an attacker.
