  1. yep I dont think it will take 10 years for Ukr to win vs. Russia. I think it will take at most 2.5 years. I dont think the Russian economy can take this battering for an extended p. that is why you see the Russians trying to cut corners like not paying their troops in Ukraine, throwing in conscripts, deploying old tanks and weapons, massively downsizing their war aims to just taking the Donbass which is a big step down from their earlier goal to conquer all of Ukraine. Yah its true Russia is reaping lots of oil and gas exports but I bet its in a significatnly discounted price from the Indians and Chinese. also the barring of Russian banks from the swift system and freezing of assets means the Russians are only able to access half of their war chest financial reserves, Putin is trying to balance running Russia and maintaining the battered Russian economy and preventing food and important product shortages along with keeping inflation at bay while trying to win the war in Ukraine. Russia is in a time limit , to achieve their current aim of conquering the donbass and then declaring victory and do armistice and peace talks with the Ukrainians and a peace treaty that will leave the Russians in control of their winnings while at the same time restoring the business as usual relationship with the west while looking at the clock trying to do it before the global recession hits. Expect Putin after conquering the donbass to pressure the Ukrainains and their western backers by doing limited offensives, by playing the victim, fortifying their winnings, doing terror attacks on Ukrainian populations centers along with possible cutting oil and gas supplies to the Europeans. and even doing military confrontations wtih the USA and her allies. just to ratchet things up for the west and Ukrainians to come to the peace table and do a peace treaty favorable to the Russians. Putin is like a rat who has been trapped and is trying to fight its way out of the trap its in. The West and Ukrs know exactly what the situation is and have the advantage. All the west and Ukrs needs to do is stay in the fight demand the Russians go back to pre war borders and most sanctions will go away and be adamant about it constantly adamant about it. Putin cannot do that since if he does, well his political career may be over and so with his life. The sanctions have already done much damage to the Russian economy which the Russian people will feel in the next year or so.
