I said I wished that the Ukraine won this war but as a political realist my reasoning and my knowledge of history tells me that that simply wont happen.
Better still, I wish that this war never happened and that the Ukraine and its people are now as they were pre 2014. But decisions were made by NATO in 2008 and later confirmed by the post Maidan Governments which led to this war because Russia , rightly or wrongly felt threatened by NATO creep ..particularly in the Black Sea region..
This is not a matter of right or wrong but simply the endgame in Geopolitics ....in this case war between a Great Power and a smaller/non-Nuke power. And while the West supports the Ukraine and deranged barrackers deluge Social Media with posts advocating more Western involvement to the point of WW3, sane/sensible people have to ask: Is the fate of the Ukraine worth a Nuke WW3? IMO no and that's not being biased....that's simply sane.
There's a difference between feeling and reason mate We'd all love to win Lotto but our reason tells us that more likely than not, that wont happen.
In that context I'm neutral ; that is I simply don't barrack for one side or the other ; just offer my opinion based on history and the war to date and as such the Ukraine is loosing. Just look at the BBC war map.
To claim that the Ukraine is winning is wishful thinking
The bottom line is that I abhor war and I regard it as a failure of civilisation and that those who support it fall short of being fully civilised and the only good thing that could emerge from this war is that it would serve as an object lesson of how to avoid such wars in the future.
