They are trying to quickly end the war, it’s Russia who’s prolonging it on purpose. Russia attacked with 1 against 4 in manpower, and is completely fine with the war lasting for a long time. We now see how western powers are forcing Ukraine to do devastating counter offensives that will lead to quicker defeat. And even then I think Russia will take its time. We’re approaching a 10 year long business cycle where cheap energy is everything, and Russian’s know that. There is no way out without huge money printing to replace Russian energy, all the while we finished biggest money printing cycle in our lifetimes. Russia waited since 2014 and chose a best time. Europe will fold sooner or later.

You make it sound like this is going how Putin wanted it to, and that this is calculated and cunning.

  If he didn’t want to prolong the war, why he sent only a fraction of his army? Why they’re attacking only southern and eastern parts and not from Belorus? Looking at last 2 decades you think Putin is incompetent? You can say many things about him but that’s the last fucking thing on the list.

    He lost half of his Spetnaz regiments during the first week, and 80 to 90% of the para (that means close to half are dead or incapacitated). It would be like France loosing half its marsouins and chasseurs alpins, and 80% of the legion in a week. A disaster. And the worse is that Ukrainian migs are still flying over occupied territory. That's unforgivable. It's the proof that the fox3 capabilities they were boasting about are in fact shit. Now they lost Thales for their optics and avionics, so that might be an explanation on why their engagement range for air to air combat seems limited, but this is a bad look.

        You really think that reaching a stalemate with a military as small as that of Ukraine was his aim? The equilibrium reached is slowly but surely swinging against Putin. He ran away from the capital. He is running out of troops and is getting close to conscription. He is dragging out ‘50s and ‘60s tank relicts to fight after losing his prime weapons. His airforce is hiding and his best ship was sunk. His oligarchs are starting to desert him and are getting bombed or falling out windows.
