  1. yah the Russians are so desperate they are grasping at anything they can find , the stalemate is actually bad for the Russians, since their economy is getting more kaput the longer the war goes, the Ukrainains have the backing of the USA, so its economy is kept alive by the USA and her allies. who btw, are 40X bigger than the Russian GDP combined. its not the manpower advantage of the Russians , its the economy. The longer the war goes, the more the sanctions bite hard, the more frayed the Russian economy is, no one wants to buy the Russian ruble so the gov has to spends lots of money just to shore up its currency. Russians are running out of cash, and Russian economists have forecast officially Russian economy can hold out until 2025. Not surprised if China is lending out lots of monies to the Russians to help prop up their economy. but in the end, China will want the monies repaid, and CHina will get to control a post war Russian economy, making Russia just another Chinese client state. A Biden win in 2024 will mean 4 more years of war which the Russian economy cannot afford. I think this war will end in 2025 or in 2026 when the Russians cut their losses retire Putin and withdraw from Ukraine totally including Crimea. in return Russians get all the sanctions lifted plus relations are normalized with the west and possibly some economic aid to prop up the Russian economy from total collapse. Ukraine also gets a formal peace treaty with Russia which also recognizes Ukraine's right to join NATO and the EU. Post war results: Russia does not collapse into civil war but goes into a long period of depressed economy social and political disorder simliar to the 90s but worse. this time, you have a very weak Russian army and gov. few foreign investors, and much ore crazy angry unpaid war veterans. the real power in post war Russia will be the oligarchs and Mafiya, and their PMCs, Russian oblasts and republics will have a bit more say in how to govern their areas and probably have their own militaries, Russia effectively becomes a massive decentralized narco state. with a weak Moscow gov and army controlled by Oligarchs. and is a battleground of political and economic influence between teh USA and China.
