GlassElephant posted:Hitting whatever units cross the border and encounter NATO tripwire forces wouldn't be strategic bombing. If the Serbs put peacekeepers in the north, NATO would have to push them out, moreover that area is almost entirely Serbian unlike the rest of Kosovo. In this case, they would see it as a defensive war of a majority Serbian area. It isn’t comparable to the Baltics where people actually want NATO forces on the ground. That said, if the West wants to stick its dick into a Balkan beehive, I am sure the sound of champagne corks popping will be deafening in Moscow and Beijing.

Well do or don't they won't make the changes necessary to control things better so what comes of this won't be something that suddenly makes things better for the west. Honestly at this point if someone would do something that actually advances their position instead of glancing their nutsack with bullets it'd be a relief just because it'd mean someone actually has a plan.

Lol if any of you think that anything the ukranians do at this point will make Putin do anything to not lose his war on purpose. Putin has political calculations and restrictions that actively prevent him from actually doing anything different than what he's doing right now, he stupidly thought he could get away with a cheap war, he went against all military logic by thinking he can invade and take over a country at a 3:1 numbers disadvantage, did everything he possibly could to give the Ukranians enough military and political breathing space and time to start actively beating the poo poo out of his severely small army he sent, and now winning the war would require him to do two things that he is incapable of doing (1) is asking the russian people for a national effort and active sacrifice, something him and his regime cant do because the whole point of Putin was to make his population not care about politics. (2) actively commit warcrimes and infrastructure destruction on the level of Syria to break Ukranian resistance. Putin cant and wont do either of things, and has and is giving the ukranians all the time and ability in the world to re-supply and re-train and stuff and every time he is pushed to a decisive battle (Kherson) he blinks and runs away. Putin cannot and will not commit the army or resources needed to win in any real sense of the word. Right now, it's pretty clear the war for russia is at a 'negotiated face saving exit', there is no planet where the russians can actively turn things around or win. it's over. Russia lost and they have no one to blame but Putin for it.

I really doubt this was his idea alone, a lot of people would have stepped up to take this fight for basically the same reasons. It's also why all I can see from this is escalation, there are basically no good reasons for the elite in Russia or Ukraine to back down now, they're in it to win it regardless of what they might have wanted before. I really doubt the Russians are going to pile in reserves and then just... peace out.

even if russia could abandon the donbass, they probably cannot sell any part of russian society on abandoning crimea, which is an explicit ukrainian war goal which is also supported by ukraine's western backers. russia's stuck in this war until they can figure something out.

Surely the world cannot survive without the EU providing such essential mercantile products. DancingShade has issued a correction as of 09:28 on Dec 12, 2022 |

It does not appear that their current political system could accept or even survive a loss. It does not appear that their current political system can mobilize the resources required for a win. So indefinite war with no chance at resolution until the current system finds a way to mobilize the resources required for a win, for example through mass popular support of full mobilization following escalation from Ukrainian side. Or alternatively the replacement of the current political system by one which can either mobilize the required resources or accept a loss. This could take many years.

Please explain to me how the material conditions imply russia could win given that the material conditions for Ukraine weapons wise is really good and they re-gained two thirds of everything they initially lost in this war. Also it looks like europe will be just fine this winter so there's no magic surrender europe is gonna do so now what.
