  • I haven’t been following Ukraine beyond headlines, but with the news that the US will supply them with long range missiles I’m wondering what the win condition for Russia is?

    I’m basically talking out of my ass so correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like they’ve successfully called Russia’s bluff about escalating the war beyond Ukraine. I know Russia has tried multiple times to end the war through various deals, and they’ve also been very very careful about avoiding unnecessary civilian casualties. It is obvious at this point that the west wants the war to continue by any means necessary.

    I’m just thinking like… Is there a world where Russia holds a line in the sand and appeals to the rest of the world to force Ukraine to negotiate? Like pull back to Crimea and Donbass or whatever and assume a defensive posture? I just don’t see a way out for them at this point. I hate to say it but it does seem like this whole thing has been pretty successful at slowly sapping Russia’s capabilities and leaving them with fewer options.

    How do you win against an enemy with no soul and unlimited resources? Is it possible for them to “win” through PR? I fully believe the invasion was justified, and Russia has conducted itsself with great restraint. Is that story getting told to the rest of the world?

    Idk man, the missiles thing got me feeling some type of way. Fuck the USA.
