all conflict by it's nature is uncertain ...Putin has learnt that by now No , no-one is safe .
Yes this is doing big damage to the worlds economies . But still , Ukraine has the choices , it has said all along it will not give up more land to russia . It has momentum and the dwarfs troops are on the back foot , you can easily see why Zelensky wants to exploit the current advantage before winter
thinking a bit harder ... Crimea was the first go , this the second some years later .... Putin would try again if he gained land this time . He needs his nose rubbed in it .... and potentially pushed so hard that he is unpopular enough at home to remove , one way or another . Anything else is not just unjust it's simply kicking the can down the road for the next time .
