  1. Mearsheimer is obviously a shill for Putin. We don't know what Ukraine's casualties are, but while they are not insignificant, they are certainly not as high as the casualties the Russians have suffered. There are intelligence estimates that have been published on that. As for taking "strategic" territory, you must be kidding me. Their last significant win, in Bakhmut, was over a year and a half ago. They took horrendous casualties to get that result. They have not been able, in the past several months, actually more than a year, to take any of the strategic locations they want to. Neither side is good at offensive warfare. In fact, they are both amateurs. Ukraine has had four "counteroffensives". Three were successful but relied on subterfuge and incompetence on the part of the Russians. The fourth, against prepared defensives failed. Trump and his cabinet are correct. Too many people have died, and Ukraine does not have what it takes to take back all the territory Russia has claimed since 2014. Russia does not have the capability to realize their war aims either. Both sides are basically screwed.
