As Russia's invasion of Ukraine enters its second year, war historian and University of Rochester professor Hein Goemans paints what a potential end to the war could look like.

Fast forward Feb 2024 - Russia has captured Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Other smaller towns being captured on weekly basis. - Western Aid is dwindling. - Internal friction between Zelensky and military commander. Maybe this war will end not very long.

[@smek22071975]

@@ruslankbr5243 Why state the obvious? But the stupid thing is, that if Russia wanted to stop Ukraine from joining NATO because it would come to close to their borders, then they are failing. Finland and Sweden have since then applied for membership. Even if Sweden is not allowed, Finland will. Thus making the border way longer and Finland have a massive army to defend against the Russians. Nukes are not important. Why? If one goes off we will all die. Some will die fast and they will be the lucky ones, some will survive and die slowly because of radiation, disease, lack of food, lack of water, plunder and killings

@@smek22071975 I think Biden or Macron stated that they will not use nukes if Russia will use it in Ukraine. And you quite don’t understand Ukraine importance for Russia this is not Finland or Sweden. Ukraine consists of territories which were part of Russia and there are as many Russians as Ukrainians in those regions, using these territories as a base for NATO is absolutely does not suit Russian interests. You know that USA stated in 2008 that Ukraine WILL BE member of NATO, how do you think where should Russian naval Sevastopol base should be removed in case of Ukraine NATO membership? That is why Russia annexed Crimea.

Yes, he did not come to the scenario where the citizens come to the conclusion that they are betrayed by NATO, EU, UK, Kolomoisky and Zelenski. That Zelensky promised to make an end to coruption and the troubles in the Donbas, and did neither. That the Minsk 2 accords were much better than this war. That the two "revolutions", the "Orange" one and the "Dignity" one, - sponsord by CIA and US oligarchs, - were done by bad loosers in Presidential elections. That they are much better of by letting tthe pro-Russion parts become independent and stay neutral.

He has NO idea what he's talking about, does he? First, Russia did guarantee Ukraine security and Ukraine was secured. It was the West/NATO that broke the agreement, that started putting weapons right next to Russian borders and even then Putin warned them repeatedly to come to a negotiated settlement. London, Paris and Washington, as usual, mocked him. 2ndly, this historian says NATO is the only part that can guarantee Ukraine safety. Lol...no it can't. NATO is the ONLY reason why Ukraine has now been bombed and destroyed! It was the US and NATO that repeatedly lied and broke the agreement. And now Russia is winning the war. Ukraine is about to run out of money and it also has not many troops left after so many deaths. Ukraine has already lost. Watch how deceptively the liars of London, Paris, Washington and Zelensky now do a face-saving exercise and come to a negotiated agreement within the next few weeks (which is what Putin was asking for in the first place).

[@TheToledoTrumpton]

Well he does, but I think he had to say some things in order to get on CNN, which tend to obscure the situation. First of all, while NATO cannot trust Russia, it is clear Russia cannot trust NATO either. It is obvious that the revolution or coup in 2014, changed NATO and Russia's thinking. And while excuses can be made, pretending that the overthrow made no difference, they are ridiculous. Agreements were broken on both sides. But most importantly, Russia fully expected Ukraine to vote pro-Russian. That was why the USSR put Crimea with Ukraine in 1954. To make it more Russian. It was essentially Soviet gerrymandering. Disavowing the large, and very probably majority Russian and pro-Russian people in the claimed territory of Ukraine is nonsense. The idea that Russia is trying to conquer Ukraine is risible; so is the idea that Putin will abandon over 10 million people that are Russian citizens and consider themselves Russian, with no desire to be at war with Russia at a minimum. There is at least one area (Crimea) where these people make up a sizeable majority. The real miscalculation in the war is with NATO. The politicians really thought that Russia was weak and that they could bully Russia into letting go of Ukraine entirely. This was a way of NATO using their vastly superior military to impose on Russia, without a direct war that might trigger a global or nuclear war. As it turns out, a combination of the inefficiency of a proxy war, and the unexpected strength of Russia's relatively low-tech army, has surprised NATO. NATO also somehow miscalculated the strategic and commercial importance of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine to Russia, and failed to appreciate how much the Russian people would support Putin in retrieving it, once it stopped respecting democracy. Russia's miscalculation was the strength of Ukrainian nationalism and the feeling of ownership Ukraine has for the historically Russian territories. They feel that these areas were "given" to Ukraine as a nation and they have every right to kick the Russians out. However, he is correct. The only solution now is a negotiated settlement, and that has to start at a minimum with Crimea conceded to Russia. However, I fear that the USA and NATO need Russian war reparations in order to pay for the war, preferably paid in oil. I don't think there is any way NATO and the USA, can afford to stop the fighting, concede any territory to Russia, and still have the money to rebuild Ukraine and avoid a financial collapse. NATO has put itself in a position that they can't afford anything other than an unconditional surrender by the Russians, and that, as Goemans correctly IMO points out, is historically very unlikely.

• After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine received 52 million people, 604 thousand km2, access to the Black Sea, the largest commercial fleet, 15 nuclear reactors, and leading enterprises in the space, aviation, automotive and shipbuilding industries. The largest enterprises of the military-industrial complex remained in Ukraine: shipyards for the construction of aircraft carriers and hovercraft, the production of the largest military transport aircraft, ballistic missile assembly plants, the production of helicopter and ship engines, and a leading tank building plant. • The largest oil and gas pipelines in Europe and the world equipped with the largest underground gas storage facilities were laid through the territory of Ukraine. • In addition to all of the above, 176 ICBMs (130 SS-19s and 46 SS-24s), 43 strategic bombers (23 Tu-95s and 20 Tu-160s), 241 tactical bombers (90 Tu-16s, 70 Tu -22, 81 Tu-22M), 20 Il-78 aircraft for aerial refueling, 245 Su-24 front-line bombers, 80 modernized MiG-25 heavy interceptors and 260 MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters, more than 1,000 air-to-air cruise missiles basing and 5,000 nuclear warheads. This would still be the third nuclear capability in the world, exceeding the combined capabilities of France, Britain, China, India and Pakistan. Add to this 5,500 tanks, 5,800 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 1,700 aircraft and 500 helicopters.

This is not a war, this is called special military operation AKA Russian Aggression. An example of war is two or more countries fighting each other by bringing their army into each other's land territory. Ukraine is not taking its army to Moscow or invade Moscow. WW II was a war because Germany brought their Army to other territories and fight England, France and others then US brought their Army to Germany and Japan, and Japan to Pearl Harbor. That's why it was called a "war". I called this a Land Grabbing through military force by invasion. Ukraine is simply defending a territory and is not declaring war against Russia. A boxing match is like a war because two opponents agreed on a fight. A burglary or rape is like an invasion. Consensual f*ucking is sex. Again, this is not a war.

I don't have time to look around) (I just run around everywhere) (I don't) Does anybody really know what time it is (Care) Does anybody really care (About time) If so I can't imagine why (Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to die Everybody's worryin' (I don't care) I don't care (About time) About time (Oh no, no) I don't care"

This man is wrong on many points. Targeting civilians has worked in several wars . We did it ourselves against Japan. And war is not the gathering of information. War is most times a means of getting a country to agree to a negotiation or compromise that the country previously wouldn’t budge on. Negotiations and compromise are easiest at the end of war because only war makes it clear and undisputed which power sits in a position of dominance during negotiation.

"...war provides information..." Such a straightforward statement (amongst others) from him. Realistic or deeply embedded regional security and sovereignty concerns appear to always have been a legitimate enough reason to go to war, sooner or later.

[@AirborneMOC031]

It's a fascinating thought, believing that Putin was terrified of Ukraine suddenly invading Russia. And worse, perhaps NATO nations like Canada sending their armed forces to join in the NATO support for that unprovoked attack. It's clear why Putin had such enormous regional security and sovereignty concerns faced with a threat to Russia like that. Same as in Georgia and Chechnya previously, apparently.
