Ukrainians don't seem to be putting up much of a fight. The west is not coming to their aid, if they want to be free they have to fight for it themselves.
Expected.
Meanwhile Russian markets are down 50% and still falling fast.
Which was also expected.

Russian Ka-52 Kamov down.
I did read your comment. I also didn't avoid anything. You said to keep my comments short, I said this isn't twitter. If you want to have short verbal spars, go to twitter.It reflects, that wherever you want to avoid you goes in 'twitter' mode. So this is called diplomacy.
Did you read my post? I noticed you didn't.
USA/West, where they feel themselves on weak moral grounds, they use to play a game called 'SANCTIONS' and this is not a new thing. What are they able to change against Iran or Korea?
President Zelenskyy "WE HAVE PRISIONERS OF WAR"President Zelenskyy recorded video tape playing on AJN. Pleads Ukranians to join up as volunteers, and donate blood. Calls on Western allies to help and states " if you don't help Ukraine today, war will be knocking on your door, signs off with "GLORY TO UKRAINE".
I'm not trying to be nuanced or subtle, my comments are pretty straightforward.You think you're being nuanced, but I don't think you are. I think we can both agree that Russia will lose hardware and men. We can also agree that Russia included prospective losses in its wargaming and, more importantly, long-term grand strategy before engaging in this conflict and found the payoffs/costs justifiable given their regional security goals.
Crucially, there must be a quantitative threshold after which such losses become significant enough for your theory to kick in. Time will tell whether Russia's losses cross that threshold or not. Perhaps we can devote our time (on this thread, which is more about updates) to more constructive, current discussions. Thanks.
Exactly. Most people have never studied realism or grand strategy formally, so they have no clue what they are talking about.
