American military and intelligence officials have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate as Russia makes steady gains, and the sense of pessimism in Kyiv and Washington is deepening.

So what’s next? A Vietnam and Afghanistan style rapid collapse of the US-supported government? Something entirely different?

1975 Fall of Saigon

2021 Fall of Kabul

202X Fall of Kyiv…?

It must be quite the shocking turn of events for those who were convinced Ukraine was going to win.

Missiles and drones are democratizing warfare.

Cowards

I remember being called a Russian troll for asking the obvious, “why would Russia blow its own pipeline?”

I guess it will depend on who has more patience. Russia or the EU. I don’t think the US will support Ukraine for too long even if Harris wins. But I am not an analyst, I am just guessing.

To think Ukraine could have been in a better place if Biden wasn’t an Israel-first president. I am surprised China didn’t take advantage of the US’s distraction to retake Taiwan.

At this rate I think what will happen is that Russia will keep the Russian speaking regions in the east and Ukraine will join NATO. Neither side will get all of what they wanted.
