    The Economist: General Valery Zaluzhny admits the war is at a stalemate



    I think that was exactly the hope of the Biden administration too but sadly it didn't work. At least the mainstream media is not simply cheerleading, at least in this case we get a bit of reality.

    Against a democracy, this strategy might have worked. Not in an authoritarian state when the leaders are not accountable to the general public in any meaningful way.
    That was a good article. There is even a better assessment by an independent military analyst summery on ISW.
    Basically says Ukraine needs the more sophisticated air force to take to the air to have a chance.
    The F 16 are VERY late.

    The leadership of Russia is accountable to OTHER leadership. The Ultranationalists are still enraged by the number of Russians getting slaughtered.
    Prigohzin was just one example of how the leadership is still vulnerable. But this is not necessarily good for Ukraine. Could be if enough infighting keeps up and they keep tying themselves in knots.

    Imo Ukraine is absolutely capable with the right weapons in number. The Russians are sending units in WITHOUT ANY WEAPONS. z UNITS they call them. This is a sophisticated war in the air, and more like WWI on the ground until Ukraine is given the goods. In any event Russia must be stopped. And they will be. They will not get Ukraine. Unless they just nuke it.
    up. So disagree with the last sentence. Russia is accountable to authoritarian FACTIONS who have public support. This is very obvious.

    oh yes, The Economist is not mainstream. They actually back their assessments with solid reasoning and factual information. This is not a hater twitter feed, Thats mainstream on this board.
    I do appreciate your interest DMX. We just diagree.

    It's not the second time either. Russia was already in economic ruins after losing the war against the Japanese and bleeding cash when it collapsed in 1917.
    You can also go back to the Tzar era. It's like a movie on a loop.

    Though they came real handy in II., while you were doing the wet work at 30k, they was on the ground butchering Nazi's like ringin' a bell.
