Putin cannot win war in Ukraine | Mark Galeotti

[@billy2807]

I'd say things can go badly enough in Moscow, not on the battlefield, that the russians DO actually have to leave Ukraine. And that's the way it's currently trending. The vertical of power is strong, but brittle. NATO has the ability outlast putin, it will just come down to the will to do so.

Russia giving up and withdrawing from all of Ukraine would be one way. Short of that, I don’t think NATO would want to station troops in Ukraine without some sort of deal between Ukraine and Russia.

Any compromise will result in the end of Ukraine, with European Union, security and stablility eventually with it, back to the 1980s USSR and Eastern Bloc, with oppressed population within and the Cold War. Russia can easily have peace, agree to the plan for peace that Zelensky outlined. And no punishment for the horrendous crimes that Russia committed against Ukraine? Really, was also committed against the world. Only encourages the likes of China, North Korea, Iran, Hamas, Syria, ISIS, Al Quida and any oppressive nation if nothing is done.

It in inevitable that Puitn will lose this war. Many commentators don't understand why. It's a simple numbers game - resources. Putin's economy was half that of the UK when he started this war - it's even worse now - he is going to run out of money to buy weapons and pay for his army. It' doesn't take a monetary economist to realise that it's not a good thing when your economy is based upon energy exports and your largest customer walks away. It's not a good thing when your central bank raises interest rates to 19%, 4 times that of the UK. We are witnessing the fall of a dictator - it really is that simple.

Many UK pensioners do have a starting point of being very much better off than Russian pensioners, I suspect much more than double Russian pensioners' income,. where you draw the line on winter fuel allowances is a political decision. Those with private or work pensions on top of state pensions can in retirement be getting two or three times another persons working salary, those not at this extreme would benefit from some state help since fuel prices have risen so much in recent years.

Russia will win if the West stops supporting Ukraine. And Ukraine can win if the West continues its support, and it will win sooner if they increase their support. Russia was forced to withdraw from Afghanistan after significantly less losses, they knew they could not win. It’s almost as if we want there to be a frozen war with one fifth of Ukraine occupied by Russia. And a comprehensive win for Ukraine comes with a Brucie bonus. Refugees will be able to return to their homes, and no longer have to seek refuge in Europe.

Of course the free world will support Ukraine, many Russians are now 0:10 supporting Ukraine, with sabotage,friendly fire, surrendering, supplying Ukraine with information and protesting when it is safe to do so.

Mark talks about the different countries of the west seeing different threats as being more relevant to them; surely, the point point about the world today is that all these threats are actually each just part of the same growing problem, and we should be treating them as such and dealing with them using a holistic approach rather than trying to tackle them individually. The piecemeal approach is 'short termism' at its most dangerous and only ensures that the issues will fester and grow until the whole thing gets out of hand and out of control, just as with the second world war. The various governments throughout the western world think they are so clever in persuing each their own approach whilst trying to influence the others into their way of things. In reality they are all stuck up their own arses and really have no idea what they are doing.

I would somewhat disagree with Mr Galeotti on the topic of maintaining Western cohesion.

Which they're not, so that's good. The USA is what matters and to a lesser extent the UK, Poland & Scandinavian countries. America has something like 4-5 thousand Abrams tanks and 6-7 thousand Bradley IFVs, for example; many hundreds of which the US Army is never going to use & could be brought out of storage to be refurbished & sent to Ukraine. If America steps up its support for Ukraine with a much more definitive strategy, Europe will follow.

Honestly I am no longer this sure about it being impossible for Ukraine to reclaim all of its territory. Within days, Ukraine devastated what amounts to be 2 months worth of russian ammunition. This will slow down. Other depots are harder to reach and so on. However, with Russia barely able to make but the tiniest of progress towards Pokrovsk using 100% of ammo, one might ask, what Russia can do with only 75% of its monthly supply. In case Ukraine was to overwhelm russian lines in one point, they than can quickly and efficiently - like they did in Kursk - take territory right up into Russia. In the end, Russia might be pleading to do peace-talks while Russia is still no smaller than it was in 2013... Putin might bring thousands of men over and over again, but without proper equipment and ammunition, these will be nothing but cannon-fodder, up until basic necessities of the russian economy are no longer covered.

@@Tinfoilhelmets They convinced Zelensky that Ukraine would win with western support and sanctions on Russia. Ukraine could have stayed intact if the peace deal had been signed in March 2022.

What a pathetic comment.

@@ThomasDanielsen1000 The peace deal only required some autonomy for Donetsk and Luhansk. It was a great deal for Ukraine which instead embanked on the path to total destruction thanks to people like Biden, Johnson Blinken Nuland Sullivan and Stoltenberg and their empty promises.

Not balanced, at the end, the guy lies about Trump's position , that is surrendering to Putin's will.

kaputin is on the way out! May Our Lady of Vyshhorod, Josyf Slipyi, Andrey Sheptytsky, Blessed Vasyl Velychkovsky and all Ukrainian saints, First Testament Prophets (Elijah, Ezekiel, Joel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Amos etc), Jewish holy men and women, St Michael, Raphael and Gabriel, all the angels, St Anne, St Joseph, St Olga, St Charbel Maklouf, St Benedict, St Seraphim, St George, St Catherine, ask the Almighty to help Ukraine. May it be freed from Russian oppression. May all who have died RIP and may relatives and friends be comforted.

Very simple. America used atomic bomb when pearl Harbor fall. What do you think the Russia will do?

[@jinnindo]

The american political rulers pressured and lured japan into attacking pearl harbor, and then nuked them twice after they were already trying to surrender, so it's not really comparable.

This Galeotti guy, sounds like a supporter of appeasement to me.

But Russia is indeed winning in battlefields

[@MartinLundström-l4v]

The point is.... Russia HAVE TO loose... No matter how long it take...

[@kennance115]

America won on the battlefield in Vietnam but lost the war because they failed to accomplish their objectives.

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️🙏🏻✌🏻

Winning for Russia doesn’t have to mean taking the entire country. If the Russian economy is as large or larger than it started with, and they control Donbass, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Crimea, strategically, that’s as a win for Russia even if what’s left of Ukraine do end up joining NATO.

[@kennance115]

Usually no matter how unfair it is Putin is likely going to get the Crimea and Ukraine territory east of the Dnieper River. This can only change If the rules of engagement are changed and Ukraine is giving all they need to Punish the Russian people and bring the war home to Putin.

you ideate Russia is winning the war... are you asleep or in denial
