It seems as though we’ve reached a very unnerving moment in this war, where both sides can claim victories. It seems as though things could go either way at this point.
Either the Russians back down and sue for peace, or Putin escalates things to the point where some form of WMD are used. It really could go either way. And, what’s more, we don’t know the long-term stability of Russia at the moment. Russia could collapse in a rather abrupt manner, given all the sanctions being imposed on it at the moment.
Remember, people go bankrupt gradually then all at once as the old saying goes.
On the ground, there seems to be something of a stalemate. But the Russians have begun to grow more aggressive in some of the weapons they are willing to use. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues.
I guess the point right now is there isn’t really any big news. The Russians continue to collapse here and there, and yet pick up some territory as well. There are fierce battles going on for Kyiv and Kharkiv. But, for the moment, the cities continue to be in Ukrainian hands.
But, we’ll see. It will be interesting where things go from here.
