Two weeks ago , Juveniles in here were celebrating a Putin “Win” in Ukraine …
I was on record here saying War is not a simple game of Rugby where a powerful team wins the game …
Few listened …
Now hear this …
Putin is now riding the Tigers back and in a tight corner …
-
The Russian advance is at a standstill … Logistics problems all over and stiff resistance from Ukraine.
-
The War is unpopular in Russia and more so when conscripts will be forced to go and fight … The media is suppressed and protesters are being jailed.
-
World opinion and support is rock solid behind Ukraine and President Zelensky has Rock Star status worldwide.
There are no good options left for Putin and Russia and both become more isolated and economic hardships start to bite …
Putin faces 3 options :-
-
a declaration of “victory” and the withdrawal of tired Russian Forces from Ukraine … then the issue will be why was the war started in the first place …???
( Putin looses ). -
a continuation of a very bloody conflict which will quickly end up as Putin’s “Vietnam” … You can occupy a territory but not control it … Massive casualties on both sides , but Russia cannot wipe out 48 million Ukranians.
( In the end , Putin looses ). -
the best outcome …
The Oligarchs , Cronies and Russians just get fed up of him and depose him … A more amiable ( perhaps even more Democratic System ) leadership replaces him , makes peace with Ukraine and returns all Annexed Land.
( Israel / Egypt style ) …
Massive West led reconstruction follows and in under 1 decade Ukraine emerges united , prosperous and a leading Democratic European power ( and very likely a solid member of NATO ).
Win-Win for US , Europe , NATO , Ukraine and even a more Democratic Russia …
Which will leave the Free World with only 2 major headaches …
North Korea and China … :D:D
Tafakari Hayo … :D:D
