Time is not on Ukraine's side.

First off, I'm not a vatnik shill. Putin is bad, etc etc. Don't blindly dismiss what I'm saying.

The conclusion of this war is not at all certain. Ultimately it depends on a lot of factors, such as:

>Russian military fortification in the South and East

>The resilience of Russia's economy and society to withstand sanctions

>Russia's ability to train hundreds of thousands of troops within a respectable amount of time

>Russia's capability to maintain high production quotas that go to the frontlines.

>Grey market and third-party economies that provide sanctioned materials to Russia.

    Putin is designing this 'special military operation' to last beyond his reign. There are programs in Russian schools that prepare kids for a life of military service, and the economy is being restructured to account for the long-term cost of the war. Most importantly, the Russian people are begrudgingly accepting anything the Putin regime does to them. The Russian state is stable. Right now, Ukraine's momentum is slowed. Either Ukraine is struggling to maintain its current frontline with its resources, or they've calculated that it would be better to launch another offensive in the spring. The problem with the latter line of thinking is that Russia may have regenerated enough troops to blunt a new offensive, especially if the rumors of another few hundred thousand conscripts being called up are true, something they severely lacked during the Kharkiv and Kherson theaters. I am not at all confident that western armaments alone can prepare Ukraine to outlast a nation that is transitioning into a war economy, preparing its people for years of continuous economic isolation and grinding warfare, and which has far more people to throw to the meat grinder.

    Ukraine has been doing very well these last few months, so hey maybe it's just my doomer mind at work. I am concerned though.

    TLDR: Russia is big and doesn't seem intent on giving up any time soon, how long can Ukraine really last against a foe willing to destroy itself to the last man, missile, and ruble to win the war?

      Forever, since they know capitulating will mean Russia will be in charge of rebuilding Ukraine, and it will never occur. Literal death of every Ukrainian would be a better option.

      It won't go beyond him because none even fricking understands how any Russian benefits from this war, those that come after Putin will spend more time fighting between each other for Russia to maintain active war in Ukraine
      >Russian schools that prepare kids for a life of military service, and the economy is being restructured to account for the long-term cost of the war
      Russia is currently in deep crisis and shortage of workers, yes they have 10% shadow unemployment(you have a job but they haven't paid you in 6 months) and Russia has shortages of workers because everyone with money and skills gets the frick away while border is open.
      >Most importantly, the Russian people are begrudgingly accepting anything the Putin regime does to them. The Russian state is stable.
      Russian society crossed Rubicon for first time since Monke got elected. You have Russian public FSB agents(Igor Girkin) publicly call Putin weak and points out how exactly. President of Tatarstan renames his post to Rais, which is same as telling Putin to go frick himself with his centralization and Putin can't do shit

        The original plan was to take Ukraine quickly with minimal losses so that they could use the natural barriers to the west of Ukraine so Russia could better defend that front with a smaller fighting-aged demographic. With that plan collapsing, it's a wonder how Russia's future will look given this will just keep killing its chances at restoring population growth.

      Maybe, but go long enough and the disincentive for Ukraine to start targeting Russian civilian populations near the border goes away. We already know the defenses along the border aren't enough to keep Ukraine out, it's just that right now there's no serious reason for Ukraine to enter Russia proper.

        You'll lose that gamble. Putin has massively blundered at foreign policy but he knows exactly how to keep power at home. Loyalty is rewarded over all else and he's continuously worked to make power in Russia synonymous with himself. In addition, the main criticism of Putin is from pro-war hardliners who think he's too cautious and soft. If there was ever a coup, it would be someone like Prigozhin who has his own military and financial power. Any pro-peace oligarchs are under Putin's heel or have fled the country.

          Unfortunately for Putin, since the WAR itself is a massive mistake, they're now locked into a suicidal crash and burn course.

          The political impetus is to keep ATTACKING, which of course plays right into the Ukrainian hands. They are patiently wearing down the Russian beast AGAIN.

          We are witnessing a situation where all the political factors at home favor Russian fricking up more, not less. They're going to attack more, behave even more viciously.....and all they will succeed in doing is horrifying the West into supporting Ukraine even more and making the Ukrainians even more kill-crazy than they are now.

      Russia has already lost the war, in the exact same way that Japan/Germany lost the war in WWII. The moment things didn't go perfectly with the war ending within a couple of weeks at most, they'd lost because they have no way to outproduce the ARSENAL OF DEMOCRACY, and so their only hope was to crush the spirit of the defenders and convince them fighting back wasn't worth the cost. At this point, it's no longer a question of Russia losing the war or not, it's a question of how badly Russia is going to destroy their economy and population before they realize they've already lost, and unfortunately for them, they will be surrendering to Ukraine and not the US, which lowers the odds of the US feeling like they should rebuild the country ala Japan/Germany is much lower, and Russia seizing every Western business who was operating within the borders means that there will be minimal foreign investors because of the high risk.

      TL;DR: A million men doesn't matter in the modern world if you can't feed, arm, and supply them, and Russia has already blown it's chance.

      Absolute rot. The economy is being "restructured" in the sense the central banker told them to look into how they did things 30 years ago without modern technology. A heavily sanctioned and relatively small economy like Russia, sending a generation of skilled workers out to be exterminated and having lost its biggest customers and technology transfer partners cannot be "restructured" for a forever war. If that was easy everyone in a far better position in the western world would "restructure" their economies for double digit growth, it doesn't work like that.

      What they are really doing is burning through nearly a decade of economic reform that they have suffered and suffered for and are going to be left holding shit.

      Some of your observations are correct

      >Russian military fortification
      >Resilience of Russia's economy and society to withstand sanctions
      >Russia's ability to train hundreds of thousands of troops
      >Russia's capability to maintain some production
      >Grey market and third-party economies provide sanctioned materials
      >Long-term economy and societal reorientation

      However, the conclusion you've crafted from these facts fails to see things from the Putin perspective. His goal is firstly to stay in power and secondly to cultivate his legacy. Ending the war (by winning it or otherwise) would actually go against these objectives. The war is not a burden but a tool. It gives Putin the power to recast Russia as he sees fit.

      The war is the excuse that allows Putin to
      >cut Russia off from the west culturally
      >limit outside economic influence
      >raise larger standing army
      >deal with dissenters even more harshly
      >blame all internal issues on the West

      Putin wants Russia to become like North Korea. The Kim's kingdom may not have a stable food or power supply, but it has completed several clean transitions of absolute power within a single family. And the deceased leaders are raised to the status of gods. Who would want to be president when the playbook to truly become czar is just laying open.

      The war will continue as long as Putin wants to reform Russia. Perhaps eventually there will be a pseudo-peace like that along the 39th parallel. However, like North Korea, the wartime atmosphere will remain for Russia indefinitely.

      Its expensive and its risky for life.

          This might help them with some missile production but it still won't be enough to allow Russia to win the war. Also Russia doesn't seem to use this capability very effectively.

                No supplies and no leaders = one big fricking massacre. Simple but devastating.

    Yes, but they are so awfully trained and equipped that they might as well not bother.
    's capability to maintain high production quotas that go to the frontlines.
    Not true, the amount of materiel actually getting to the front lines isn't sufficient to sustain enough offensive capability to trouble Ukraine
    >>Grey market and third-party economies that provide sanctioned materials to Russia.
    This might help them with some missile production but it still won't be enough to allow Russia to win the war. Also Russia doesn't seem to use this capability very effectively.

    It's economies collapse in years, not months. Germany's civilian economy did pretty well up until the late 40's, at which point it died hard. And this was despite being blockaded and having various shortages. But it dying hard was inevitable because you can't have an inbred economy shut off from the rest of the world.

    I agree with your analysis, plus - the rising prices might worsen the political situation in western countries internal fatigues might change the political situation in western countries, we actually have elections every couple of years here, and also: at some point china or some other actor might decide to step in. You could say this is unlikely but in 2015 i would have never thought Russia would start a military operation overnight in Syria and thats what they did. You literally never know what the future holds and Ukraine at this point it's on western life support. Condoleeza Rice wrote something about this on these days, that's they want to send "light tanks".

Besides, in the article i mentioned she stated what everyone can see, that Ukraine it's on life support, i don't think there it could be a discussion about this, which is also why the west is stepping up deliveries.

        Anyway, if shit keep hitting the fan, and if it gets worse like it could, people won't be happy to keep paying to extend nato-ue influence, since for some countries there isn't even any real connection with Ukraine and Ukrainians themselves are hardly seen as Europeans. Personally i don't see them as different from Russians.

            Bullshit, there were various forms of democratic expression or inspiration in many countries. For example ancient Chechen society was organised democratically. England and France had the example of peasants revolting or defying their masters that echoed through their history. Movements like the levellers and the luddites. Russia was completely buck broken by Oprichnina and that has been their comfort zone ever since. It's no wonder ever revolution or counter revolution always ended in tyranny and imperialism.

    >resiliance of economy
    Sanctions don't instantly shut things down. It takes months and years to start having effects - you can see that with the fact that they stole a bunch of civilian airliners to provide parts for planes because they can't make those parts.

    They haven't. They haven't lost all industrial capacity but they've fallen in output.

    Third-party economies won't be selling western tech to russia becuase if they do they'll get cut off. Grey market won't be able to supply the Russians by really much at all. They might get some stuff but it won't be enough for anything that would tip the war at all.

    By destroying them. Also, Russian partisan activity has been increasing ever since the war started and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people have fricking left Russia becuase they either disagree with the war or don't want to get drafted. They very clearly aren't willing to destroy themselves.

The final 13th after-story sets up a strong premise to do another series, which could be amazing. Unfortunately, it really bombed as a commercial success and was never revisited. As far as a success in the community, it's considered one of the high-quality sleeper stories of all time. Had a lot going for it and never quite reached its potential, but it's still damned fine anime. Really fantastic soundtrack.

    in 11 months they have lost like 30% of their attack helicopter and 10-20% of everything else

    It's not resilient at all, it was predicted from the 2022 onset that it'd take about a year for the cracks to creep in and we're already hearing news about people being unable to withdraw money from banks.
    Not being able to buy sugar was an early one, too.

    Many sanctions are only now starting to have real effects. We had to wait for Russia had to go through stockpiles, sanctions had time limits to go into effect, foreign exchange had to be drawn down, western countries had to build alternative energy infrastructure, western companies had to divest, etc.. Russia is only now starting to lose important market access, ability to import, and burn through their stockpiles. The Russian Army meanwhile is continuing to lose more equipment and munitions than Russia can ever hope to replace/refurbish from their finite stockpiles. Ukraine continues to get stronger every single day as more men get trained and equipment gets donated from near infinite western stockpiles and reserves. Logistics (Russian rail and truck fleets are failing), firepower (Russian artillery barrels, tank counts, and artillery ammunition reserves continue to dwindle), and public support (support in Russia has fallen off a cliff) are what is going to matter. All of these problems are easily available online for all to see. Morale in Ukraine is the highest it has ever been. Russian military production is far below their usage, their economy is failing, and a couple million Mobiks are just more meat for NATO artillery and another nail in Russian demographics.

    The key flaw in your reasoning is that while you are attempting to co sider russias capability to fight a long war you are neglecting to consider Ukraine's amity to do the same
    Ukraine is backed by a coalition of economies that is collectively more than a hundred times than the russian one, as well as being significantly more technologically advanced.
    Ukraine has far more capacity for a long war than Russia does. Frankly, its not even a contest

    You have it backwards. Time is not and never has been on Russia's side. The goal was a repeat of Crimea and Georgia, to present the world with a fait acompli, a done deal. You take over the capital, your death squads purge everyone on the kill lists and now you own Ukraine. And there is nothing that can be done about it, because all the anti-Russia people are now dead.
    Every day past the first week of the Special Military Operation has been bad for Russia.
    To address your points briefly:,
    Russia has military fortifications, but what good are fortifications you can't supply?
    There is no more Russian economy, what you see is a corpse being puppeted around by a woman too good for Russia.
    Russia does not and never did have the capability to train troops, it's one of their issues.
    Russia has no domestic production for anything more complex than a T34.
    Sneaking things past sanctions is something few nations that could feasibly would dare, for fear of sanctions. It's not something you can build a war economy around.

    I wanted to disagree at first, but sadly I guess think the same. While Russia does not gain much by prolonging this war, it obviously is in a much better position than Ukraine in terms of attrition warfare. Russia will never outlive the West, but it can outlive Ukraine, because the West, despite constantly signalling that they support Ukraine and want it to win, are not doing enough for Ukrainian victory. Sanctions could have been more rational, because banning SWIFT in Russia and restricting visas to ordinary Russians only played into Putin's shaky hands, as he accumulated more wealth and power over population, and Europe still buys Russian oil, gas, coal and wheat, not directly now, but through China, India, Turkey etc. If the West wanted Ukraine to win decisively, it would not pump money into Russia last year, but send more weapons to UAF, not only old Soviet stuff like BMP-1 and Slovenian T-55(!!!), but more modern and deadlier things like Gripen, Leos and others, even fricking Tomcats would work. But it seems like the West was and still is very afraid to escalate, and that's why Western politicians are still ready to sell Ukrainian people and land which is currently occupied by RuAF to Putin. Probably they are afraid of nukes, of a probability of a continuous economic recession caused by lack of natural resources if Russia stops selling them even through proxies, or maybe they don't really care about who wins in the end, and will do business as usual with Putin after some sort of ceasefire starts.

      First off, I'm not a vatnik shill. Putin is bad, etc etc. Don't blindly dismiss what I'm saying.

      The conclusion of this war is not at all certain. Ultimately it depends on a lot of factors, such as:

      >Russian military fortification in the South and East

      >The resilience of Russia's economy and society to withstand sanctions

      >Russia's ability to train hundreds of thousands of troops within a respectable amount of time

      >Russia's capability to maintain high production quotas that go to the frontlines.

      >Grey market and third-party economies that provide sanctioned materials to Russia.

      western support can improve 10 folds in quantity without even touching anything less than 30 yo.
      Ukrainians can die by the millions for 10 years if need be. For them, it’s dying with a weapon in their hand or the genocide of their people (and their ethnicity, their culture, language etc) and annihilation of their country.
      Look at France in WW1 for an idea of what a country of nearly the same size and population can commit in a defensive war (3.8 millions soldiers in 2 weeks in august 1914, 8.5 millions for the whole war).

    It's extremely obvious that Putin is hoping to fill occupied land with mobiks and drag the war out as long as possible while western society forgets about war and western administrations change via elections and shift to other issues. Unless Ukraine starts another counter offensive, we're back to pre-february situation with Russia occupying a bunch of land. Ukrainian rhetoric in 2014 was the same, "we're gonna retake everything". I wouldn't be surprised if in 50 years Ukraine loses everything east of Dniepr. Write your rep to give Ukraine more aid so this doesn't happen.

      Nope. The big difference was that in 2014 Russia could play the threat of invading Ukraine to temper down the conflict or send a few BTG to heat it up at will. The value of that threat disapear when you played your card and botched it.

    Russia, a global superpower is struggling to fight a conventional war against a tiny breadbasket nation that is second in corruption in Europe (guess which one is the top). This isn't some guerilla-hiding-in-mountains bullshit that the Taliban or the Vietnam could pull of with home-field advantage. You couldn't ask for a more advantageous geography to invade. The war went from two weeks to nearly a year so far. The failure of the Russian army, the casualties they have received, the internal and external corruption exposed in their armed forces and government and the sheer desperation of their tactics has been to put it lightly, comical.
    The issue isn't whether Russia will "inevitably" win or whether Ukraine will eventually lose, it's the fact this discussion is occurring at all. Russia, on paper, should have demolished Ukraine in days. As it turned out, the only bigger comedian in office than the Ukraine president is the one in a Vatnik bunker somewhere.

    It honestly doesn't matter how this war turns out now. I personally believe there will be a stalemate and the Russians will permanently 'occupy' the new regions they have kept in the East (I don't think a major Ukrainian counter offensive is likely). Russia has humiliated itself in pretty much every way a nation could humilate itself, and has become such as laughing stock that even it's anyone-but-the-West allies are looking at it ready to cannibalise it's carcass when Putin eventually dies from suicide and throws himself in a river in a black bag.

        I am not saying that the Ukrainians are bad or incapable.

Chances are that Russia will mine the frick and do other preventative things out of everywhere they can to make an offensive extremely costly. Monke will eventually rotate out troops with new ones to keep what exists of morale fresh. Russia's population is brainwashed and docile enough to remain quiet. Ukraine will likely lose the major regions occupied in the East, but Russia will fail in all it's objectives otherwise.

          Strike the weak points in its armor: namely its military manufacturing & logistics inside Russia. Sabotage.

            Without the means to manufacture armaments, Russia cannot fight forever.

            Post-script: and if that still isn't enough to beat reason into Putin's head, since we're not using it anyway, start sabotaging the Russian oil refineries themselves. Russia is an oil economy. Strike the source of its funds that support a fricking genocide.

    It depends on Russia, with a growing lack of materiel and political instability, performing a laundry list of things it couldn't do when it was far, far easier to do them.

    So yeah, if Russia can stop behaving like Russia and do a whole load of things we know Russia is terrible at.

    Reminds me a bit of those "Germany could have won the war" posts that always depend on things Germany was constitutionally incapable of physically, practically, politically and ideologically.

    As long as the west supports Ukraine, time will eternally be on Ukraine's side. It is really that simple. No country can bear the burden of all out war on its own indefinitely; it is something that has repeatedly been proven a logistical and economic impossibility. This was true in WW1 and in WW2, and will prove true once again. A long war favors the least isolated, and history has proven this, again, and again, and again.

    And Russia...is almost completely isolated. The few allies they have, either are in no position to support them for a protracted period of time, intend to fleece Russia for everything they got, or only pay lip service while denying them almost all useful aid. Most of the time, a mix of all 3.

    Will Russia keel over next month? Probably not. Industrial economies can last for a long fricking time even in total isolation, and typically their capacity for warfare will outlast their financial solvency. It it will lead to further isolation as they simply run out of viable surplus to trade with their allies, it will lead to further degradation of everyone's standard of living and with that typically the popularity of a war of aggression. And it will progressively complicate recovery. Though their dumbass, shortsighted "economic reforms" pretty much have ensured there will be no recovery

    So the conclusion depends on:
    >The guys who folded multiple times already not folding again under pressure this time
    >The Russian economy, held together by the economic equivalent of spit, duct tape and twist ties, not finally showing the severe cracks already there to the population before total collapse
    >The abillity of the incompetent to train the unwilling
    >Russia's domestic production capabillities in the year of our Lord 2023 (aka them polishing the rust of previously forgotten Soviet gear that hasn't completele decayed yet)
    >Their income from smuggling raw resources for rock bottom prices instead of their previous sales at market prices
    Kay then, sounds like they're fricked already, and will be increasingly fricked as the conflict goes on.

      Listen, you delusional methhead, whether someone or something is sovereign is not determined de jure but de facto so that is some weird cope. If some lads control a region to the point of dictating and enforcing laws and culture, and you have literally no control over said region, that region is sovereign. Taiwan is sovereign, Kosevo is sovereign and Ukraine is, guess what, fricking sovereign. Whether their right to exist as a sovereign entity is recognize is another matter in its entirety. And yes, prior to Russia hitting them with the "what the frick did you think would happen you brainlets, now on your knees and suck this officers wiener", Donetsk and Luhansk, were, indeed, sovereign.

    's ability to train hundreds of thousands of troops within a respectable amount of time
    Considering theyre throwing conscripts with a week’s training to the frontlines, it is heavily doubtful this will resolve in their favor.
    's capability to maintain high production quotas that go to the frontlines.
    They have been reduced to sending t62s given to them from india for factory upgrades to the frontlines. Heavily doubtful they’ll be able to get any new production lines going under sanctions if they’re pulling shit like this just to get anything to the front.
    >>Grey market and third-party economies that provide sanctioned materials to Russia.
    Buying drones from Iran which they can’t use currently because theyre shit and not cold weather proofed, and buying artillery shells from north korea seems to be about the best they can do.
    >>The resilience of Russia's economy and society to withstand sanctions
    Their economy is in the shitter currently with zero signs of recovery.
    n military fortification in the South and East
    considering they put out hollow concrete “dragon’s teeth” as anti-tank emplacements, I really doubt what fortifications they have are worthwhile, and thats not even getting into Ukraine’s ability to just blow them to shit with western supplied materiel.

    All in all I’m personally expecting the war to limp along for another year. Its winter. Ukraine can take all the time it needs to bleed Russia, and russia has proven time and time again that theyre not rational actors throughout any of this, so theres not much to expect of them to change how theyre waging this war, which is incredibly poorly.

    I’m not expecting Ukraine to march on moscow by spring if they EVER do? but russia sure as frick isn’t going to be able to make any headway in this war in any meaningful sense.
