[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The post title could be flipped to "Russia has no good options in Ukraine". The article gets into it.

Russia already effectively lost the war. Ukraine is destroyed and the people are evacuating (so nobody to rule), and resistance/weaponry will keep flooding in to grind down the Russian army. They've destroyed their own economy and place in the world in order to create a wasteland where their soldiers will keep dying.[/quote]

But the problem is the Ukrainians they are killing right now. Thousands now, tens of thousands in a few weeks, PP. The psychological toll will lead to a generation of traumatized Ukrainians, and, more to the point, it may lead quickly to Ukrainian capitulation if the leadership calculates that they need to save what remaining lives they can.

This is why Zelensky is so desperate for a no-fly zone. He knows he can win the war with far fewer casualties if NATO does this. Of course we all understand why NATO doesn't want to provoke Russia into WWIII by direct engagement. NATO is aware there will be a bloodbath on the ground before it's over. It's REALLY HARD to watch, and weapons, ammo and planes can't get to Ukraine quickly enough. Soon, there won't be enough pilots anyway, and key cities are/will be cut off from aid.

And what is Russia going to do with that capitulation? They’ve redefined Pyrrhic Victory. They’ll need a whole new word for what they cost themselves. [/quote]
