Chooses to? The title makes it sound as if AFU is consciously choosing not to win. What, are they being playful or something?
he means in the context of "liberating crimea and Donbass" , he is saying they can't do it without taking considerable amount of losses and even if they manage to it will be total destruction.
Except those won't result in "defeating Russia". So I still fail to see why it needed to be phrased this way
I'm sorry VJ but there's no scenario short of WW3 and total apocalypse that Ukraine is doing anything resembling defeating Russia
I would put nuclear apocalypse in the category of "pyrrhic victory".
Vijay said master planners in US won't go for nukes.. But yeah broader war maybe an option.
For the sake of argument, what happens after, if the counteroffensive is a success?
Does NATO formally enter the war and invade russia? If not, how do you force russia to pay reparations for ukraine?
Careful, you are going to get Gunther all hot and bothered.
