As long as Putin is alive that war will continue. I don't picture him ever giving up. He couldn't care less about his troops. They are expendable.Even if Russia captures Kyiv and kills Zelensky the Ukrainians will dog the Russians as an insurgency in perpetuity. It will be Russia’s biggest nightmare to try to hold peacefully.
Rappin Ukrainians? Now I know their war is lost.Black history in Ukraine…
The Russian army is conscripts they treat as cannon fodder. Not just by Putin.As long as Putin is alive that war will continue. I don't picture him ever giving up. He couldn't care less about his troops. They are expendable.
Why is it that the Left never mentions what happened in Southeast Asia after the US Troops left ?![]()

The only possible way I see Putin giving up his conquest is if he experiences a serious level of domestic pressure.

It's why hundreds of thousands of fighting age Russians have fled the country. Russia has some of the worst demographics in the world. The last thing they needed was to get a lot of young men killed or not have all those young men still alive not making babies. Putin has to know this.There's no sign that level of domestic pressure on Putin will be materializing anytime soon. Ukraine has better-trained troops, better equipment and better military strategy than Russia does. But it also likely has more to lose than Russia if the war continues. Because the Russian dictator doesn't care about getting his people killed grinding it out and the Russian people seem to largely be OK with that.
