It's time to acknowledge objective reality and employ policies that can work. There is no realistic basis to believe that Ukraine has the capacity to attain its stated strategic objective to reclaim all its territory, including Crimea.
Does the author say there is a "realistic basis" that Russia has the capacity to attain its stated strategic objectives? I didn't see it. What are Russia's strategic objectives in Ukraine these days? Just hang onto Crimea and the portions of Eastern Ukraine they currently occupy and deal with festering drone attacks and insurgency for the next 10+ years?
I'd think Ukraine despite being a smaller population has the capacity to hold off Russia longer than Russia can continue pouring men and material into a lost cause.
Ukraine's bombing their own people, sounds like things are getting pretty desperate.
Slowly explain the supposed benefits of deliberately bombing your own people. I mean there must be some if you imply so, but what are they? It's not like enemy doesn't kill your civilians already every fucking day and in droves. What exactly is the point of doing that to themselves?

The defense industry is bullish about military contracts to supply the Ukraine-Russia war, and replenish U.S. military stockpiles depleted by weapons transfers.
Well, complicated by the fact that there are large natural gas deposits in that region.

It's just a big oil/resource grab by Russia?
The dam is breaking on unified Western support for Ukraine, and the timing couldn't be worse for Zelensky, given tomorrow he's expected to meet with President Biden at the White House. On Wednesday evening there is monumental news out of Poland which could potentially change the entire course of the war.
"Poland will no longer arm Ukraine to focus on its own defense," Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced just hours after Warsaw summoned Ukraine's ambassador related to a fresh war of words and spat over blocked grain, according to the AFP. Warsaw has throughout more than a year-and-a-half of the Ukraine-Russia war been Kiev's staunchest and most outspoken supporter.
This war wasn’t just provoked, it was knowingly provoked. Off ramp after off ramp was sped past by the US war machine at a hundred miles an hour on its beeline toward a horrific proxy war, because empire managers had calculated that such a war would serve US interests. And now we routinely see US officials like Mitch McConnell openly saying that this war serves US interests.
They really couldn’t be more obvious about it if they tried.

Ukrainian UAV strike hit Kursk Vostochny Airport (Kursk-Khalino) on September 24.
The first UAV struck the fuel and lubricants tanks, which were used for the needs of the Regiment. The loud explosion heard by the residents of Kursk was the first blow. As a result of the attack, a strong fire occurred at the fuel and lubricants warehouse.
Then, a group of military personnel and, presumably, the commander of the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (and his deputy) headed to the burning warehouse to assess the damage and take measures to extinguish the fire.
At that moment, the second UAV hit almost the same point. This strike caused the majority of casualties among the personnel of the aviation regiment, including the command.
Some time later, on the territory of the airfield, a third UAV was discovered.
Allegedly, it was "shot down" by EW system and did not explode upon falling.
Instead of calling a group of sappers to the scene, local military personnel decided to independently inspect the "object."
While approaching the object, the UAV detonated.
The strike reportedly killed the following:
- commander of the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment
- one of his deputies
- a group of aviator officers
- a representative of the FSB military counterintelligence
- airport employees
The strike reportedly killed the following
such a war would serve US interests
Mercs.
What are Russia's strategic objectives in Ukraine these days?
Kill Nazis and stop the globalist who want Russia defanged and divided.
There is no universe that Russia can argue that they have gained anything at this point other than pain, misery and death.
They stopped the genocide of ethnic Russians in East Ukraine and exposed to the world the utter corruption of the Biden government.
FFS - is this what all this Russian boosterism is about on the Right?
We didn't need Russia to get hundreds of thousands of people killed to expose Biden's corruption.
It isn't Russian boosterism. It's truth boosterism.
catastrophically wrong on all your Russian boosterism predictions here at Patnet.
