It does yeah, but political speak needs to be as neutral as possible. Obviously Zelensky is saying “more tangible coercion”. What form that should take, idk, but I understand what he means.
We can increase pressure on Putler, and have to, because Russia wins in a war of attrition. It’s their fking specialty.
I don’t think the Kremlin can wage a war of attrition like Russia did in the past, and it certainly can’t like the USSR.
They’re burning through leftovers from the USSR and not replacing them. They’re in a demographic crunch even without the war, and the Kremlin’s mobilization was deeply unpopular.
Their economy is running hot in an unsustainable way. As long as Ukraine can keep pulling support from other democracies more than the Kremlin pulls it from other dictatorships, I think time is on Ukraine’s side.
I really do hope you’re right. Ukraine does have a sizable population as well, so it’s not like they’re running out of troops right away.
Still, one should never underestimate Russia. It is deep, vast and very much brainwashed. Also they’re doing the whole “hiring people out of other countries with false promises” thing.
I really, really do hope youre right. If we could get Ukraine’s accession to the EU through, it would be so much easier. We could actually help them, and Russia would have to consider who it would be going to active war with. (Fucking pussies and their shadow wars.)
