Russia Ukraine war, page-65207

"the defeat of Russia and the removal of Putin." you say.

"Ah", as Shakespere said, but there's the rub"

As this war heads towards a year, a tactical win or loss on the ground is
not going to dislodge Putin, IMO, it will simply take a regime change
brought about by the Red Army.

Will that happen anytime soon?
IMO, no

Will the War morph into another Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan?

IMO, yes.

IMO, that is precisely what America wants:
-grind Russia into the ground economically so that it cant afford its Nukes & Nuke development
-grind the EC into the ground (RW Americans see the EC as Socialist)
-knock the ass out of the Euro....the only contender for the US Reserve Currency mantle.

Just think about it...eh?
If you are an American whose country is under enormous stress to remain liquid
due to $31 Trillion of debt and where between the withdrawal from Afghanistan (admission of defeat)
and 24th Feb that the world press was attacking you as being militarily inept and virtually
bankrupt, then along comes Vlad to the rescue. Have a nice day!!!

But of course this is merely a dress rehearsal for the Big One....USA vs China!
