Ukraine is being made as "suitcase without a handle" - it’s hard to carry and it’s a pity to leave). At the same time, it becomes increasingly difficult for the United States to shift its debt to the rest of the world by printing more and more dollars. - https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/12/15/ukraine-economy-russia-war-crisis/ |

"....We’ve talked a lot about what went wrong for Russia, and of course the war isn’t over. Is there anything that is going well?
Putin recognizes that things haven’t gone to plan, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to fold. He is willing to accept a lot of casualties — up to 300,000, according to what one NATO member is now telling allies. The way Putin looks at it is that the Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War II, and he’s convinced that the Russian people are prepared to suffer — more than people in the West. Something else that has gone well from the Kremlin’s point of view is the country’s propaganda machine. It helped convince many Russians that the war was not going disastrously wrong, and that it was the West that was forcing Russia to fight. In addition, sanctions haven’t derailed the Russian economy the way the West had hoped, and much of the world hasn’t turned its back on Russia they way some expected." |

Comparison with Battle of Britain makes no sense. Better compare with allied strategic bombing campaign or NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. You consider the bombings as reprisal attacks to innocent civilian targets but I don't think so. There's a clear logic in the bombing: now, Ukraine must decide if remaining power, energy and resources must go to military or to civilian uses. More strain to Banderites. |
