  3. I doubt that. For many reasons. 1. Russia military expenses are larger are currently larger than the state income. And the Russian states savings are running out. 2. Russia is running out of artillery shells and gun barrels. Russia is now deploying T-55 and T-54 tanks and WW2 Howitzers to be used as artillery in Ukraine. Most likely because they have runned out of modern artillery pieces. And old and rusty artillery ammunition is being put to use and ammunition have been imported from North Korea which suggests that todays levels of artillery consumption is unsubstainable. 3. Russia is running low on missiles. Russia is firing anti-ship missiles and S-300 anti-aircraft missiles against Ukrainian housing because they lack cruise missiles. And the few cruise missiles they fire have all been manufactured recently - which will indicate that russia have runned out of all their old missiles in storage. 4. Russias manpower losses is so severe that they cannot be easily replaced. 200k men dead and 400k wounded are losses too heavy to replace. To replace so many losses will you have to do a full mobilization - which is unpopular and risky for Putin in an election year. And to make matters worse are the men poorly trained, equipped and motivated. Ukraines military have of course also suffered painful losses, but the men have a good reason to fight, and the west can provide their troops with at least some training even if the Ukrainian army would take the same heavy losses as the russian professional army did in 2022. Furthermore is there a potential for Ukrainian troops to out do the russians in quality equipmen - which we already see in for example nightvision and better medical care. 5. Ukraine will soon getting long-range missiles they have waited for, such as ATACMS will could be a game changer allowing Ukraine to not just destroy the Kerch bridge but also severly destroy russian logistics in any proximity to the battelfield, and thus destroying russias ability to fight well in a coordinated way. Add to that a few hundred stormshadow missiles. And on top of that also Turkish long range rocket artillery and you will have some good long range capabilities of the Ukrainian military. And aircraft and small diameter bombs will the HIMARS style problems only getting worse for Russia. The few extra Norwegian M270 launchers with twice as much fire power as HIMARS will mean that now will an equal amount to a dozen extra HIMARS rain down death and destruction of russian forces each day. Ukraine is also getting more tanks sent to it. Not just from Spain, Denmark and the Netherlands... but there will also probably be more future surprises as Switzerland and Israel provide tanks to western allies, which in turn will free up other tanks to be sent to Ukraine. So the clock is not ticking in Russias favor. The russian defensive line may hold for a few weeks more, and not unlikely a few months more... but things are not going well for russia. Would russia stumble upon common sense would it try to cut its losses and pull out from this war. Save the money, equipment and russian lives for another day instead of destroying all what is left of the russian military on this stupid war.

  5. Its our way or the highway. What is there really anything we can or should compromise about? If someone breaks into your house, kills your dog and destroy paintings and furniture, and then he claims ownership over your living room should you give that barbarian anything? I think not. He should go to jail. And if that is not possible, then he should be outright killed on the spot. I think it is good that we steal all frozen russian assets and give them to Ukraine as a form of war reparations. I also think that the west should give the green light to an Ukrainian invasion of Transnistria - that could remove the russian military force which prevents democracy in that country, and the land strip could be a bargening chip in a peace negotiation. And Yes I absolutly think that the west MUST humiliate Russia. That is the only way they will learn to make peace with their neighbours and stop trying wars of aggression against their neighbours. Right now they can always try a war against their neighbours since there are no downsides of trying and only upsides - If you win a war you expand your land, and if you lose you don't have to pay anything.. no land ceded, no war reparations, no war criminals punished... All this has to stop. Russia should not be above the law. And we should destroy their grandious megalomaniac self-image they have of being more than anyone else. They should be treated just like any other country period. So if Russia goes out from this war with their money stolen, and with no land gained but only land in Transnistria lost, and being an international paria, embaressed for its military failings that could not prevent a loss of territory.. and a destroyed economy and military.. then Russias self-image has to change. They have to realize that they are not Superpower anymore. And thats the end of it. Russias history is filled with losing war after war. The lost 10 times more soldiers than the Finns, and Finland was able to keep their independence... but in Russian propaganda is the Winter war and Continuation war not portraid as humiliating lost wars for Russia. Same goes with their pathetic failures against Nazi-Germany and enormous losses, and that their country was saved by lend-lease is totally left out in Russian history books. And that Russia lost 19 out of 20 battles against Sweden in the Great Northern War is also something Russia likes to forget and only talk about the battle of Poltava. So it is therefore time that we in this war leave no doubt which side is the loser, and which side is the winner. Russia must suck it up that they lose this war and get humiliated. They need to wake up. Wake up like dumb child who think he is a great hockey player and musician because his mom told he so... but now that stupid child needs to hear the painful truth and find a new hobby that he actually got some talent for. The Russian people is like this child with an unreaslistic worldview. From education and from media have they been taught that russia is a great military power that have never lost a war, and never started any unjustified wars and had any evil intentions and commited genocide. I think it is time that russians learn that their military sucks. And that they should get another hobby than militarism. Fix their own economy in their 3rd world country, instead of destroying other countries for example...

  10. This war is not about Russia and has never been about it. Right now it is about Putin. If he lose this war, then his career is over and he might get a trial as a war criminal, get forced into exile, or get murdered by a russian bloodthirsty shark like himself. So he wants to avoid that. He also have this ideological view that russia must be strong and never allow it to be humilitated. Dictatorships like Russia and China don't mind being seen as evil, and what scares them is to be seen as weak and unsignificant. A Chinese bot gets more offended about a "Made in China" joke about junk quality plastic toys, than he is about fact based arguments and moral indignation about severe human rights abuses against the Uighurs. And the same goes for Russia. The worst thing that could happen in their view would be that the west laughs at their incompetent outdated military and mockingly do not take their nuclear threats seriously. Being seen as bad guys making nuclear threats and terror bombing civilians on a daily basis are things that bothers them much less. Hencefourth do I think we should aim for a historical humiliation of Russia. Make them accept the unaccepatable: A humiliating defeat. Let them know that any attempts of Russian imperialism could lead to Russia getting worse off after the war than before it. That will make them think twice the next time they consider starting a war of aggression. The little child needs some spanking so it learns to know its place. It can do whatever it wants within its countries own borders. But if it tries to steal things from other kids, then it should have its teeths kicked in. And since empathy and sympathy are arguments which have obviously not worked on the Russian people to make them stop - as 90% of the Russians still supports this war of aggression and genocide. Like 90% of the Russians supported the war of aggression against Chechenya and theft of Crimea... So is my suggestion that we replace argument of sympathy and empathy with something else since they don't work on bullies. Empathy and sympathy works on normal people, but not on psychopaths like Putin who is prepared to make nuclear threats, a man who lies and breaks international laws, kidnaps childrens, and makes a hitman list over the Ukrainian intelligentia which he wants to murder to destroy Ukrainian opposition to Russias illegal occupation. So my suggestion is simple: We should not try to convince Russia with sympathy and empathy. We should force them to abide by international law and make them respect international borders by *fear*. Our superior military, economic strength and our diplomatic influence and soft power should be 100% dedicated to totally destroying Russia unless they back off.
