Would Russia have invaded had the Maidan coup (orchestrated by the U.S.) not happen and/or NATO did not court Ukraine?
"...On both fronts it is bloodying its opponents and is being bloodied in return."
Isn't this a feature in Russian military strategies? Just put it all on black so to speak.
I suppose it all comes down to who 'wants it more'. Russia seems more willing to take the one last punch that could give it amnesia so long as they give a kick to the head that results in dementia to the West.
In no other media form but here will anyone see the word, "win," in a headline about the war in Ukraine. Everyone silently assumes the only "winners" are companies that make things that go boom. (I wonder. Do bomb-makers have to file environmental impact statements for each bomb?)
Months ago I heard one of the energy consultants on a conservative radio show, perhaps Glenn Beck, remark how there has been a trillion dollars less investment in North America's energy grid.
The money has simply gone elsewhere since the Biden Administration took over. I simply feel that the same thing must be true in Europe, or at least parts of it.
Let me rephrase or reframe the Ukraine hoopla.

PNK, perhaps you will comment on this.

Some mistakes you don't get to make twice!
