still 50/50 as to the final outcome.
everytime I think Russia has consolidated the area is has, i get reminded they still barely hold on to it.
NATO might be slowing down on donations, but Russia cant spend forever in bunkers raining artillery either and the locals are still making their life difficult in all the places they occupy.
No nation can hold to a territory if the population is against it, if population considers the occupiers as "enemy" .. that one sees in occupied Palestinian territory.
The population of the ex-Ukraine territory that Russia has annexed, are 100% Russian .. that means Russia is in "friendly" territory.
Ukraine was fooled into this, should fold the cards and settle with Russia .. there a price for foolishness and the price is the lost provinces
Now Russia is in close strategic partnership with china and Iran, "natural allies" benefitting all, win-win
This whole thing was excellent for Russia as Russia made clear to West that enough is enough. And Russia now is "self reliance" and not anymore relying on west and Russia now is "capitalist system" .. now Russian ingenuity will flourish, they the best engineers in the world, will help China and Iran with technology .. Chinese and Iranian entrepreneurs will help Russian consumer economy etc etc
Europe is the biggest loser, Germany.
Now, European leaders who were fooled by US are overthrown one by one at the ballot .. right, hard right, taking over, their mindset same as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Macron done, Marion Anne Perrine Le Pen here we come.
Rest you know
