[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ZELENSKIY SAYS RUSSIA AIMS TO SEIZE ALL THE EAST AND SOUTH OF UKRAINE -RTRS

- no shit, Odessa imo was always the crown jewel target from the start.

Bret bedbug Stephens is mostly wrong but on this he was right. Putin is doing a classic 19th century move of capturing physical attributes.

He doesn’t really care for Keev and Lviv[/quote]

Black Sea gas deposits.  There's enough gas within Ukraine's territorial waters to supply Europe and completely cut off Russia.  The big irony is that Putin is fighting a war to maintain their natural gas market share but the act of war itself is going to do even more damage to their market share.

Putin is such a ridiculous fool.  [/quote]

Putin is gonna control the entire Black Sea from the north And turn Ukraine and Moldova land locked with the ottomans In the south.

How is this foolish? [/quote]

Price being paid is much much too high. [/quote]

Ah ok

Yeah me and you think so.

But I can also see why someone might think it is rational. Which was Stephens argument.

A classic 19th century action

It what calculation was this a smart move?   The prize is so not worth the cost [/quote]

Calculating the value of the prize requires one to assign weights to variables that are subjective so who is to say on a long enough timeline if it was worth it or not

I’m not disagreeing that the action is wrong, but I also think the sharpest strategic minds try to place themselves in the shoes of their opponents as much as possible in order to accurately assess what would be the right course of action [/quote]

No one gets this calculation.  They can't get what they want and are forced to turn to other countries.  That makes russia weaker, not stronger.[/quote]
