      No, if he didn’t he would have been couped and the invasion launched anyway. Russia is a dictatorship of capital. Putin answers to the national bourgeoisie of Russia.

      Also hypotheticals like that aren’t really relevant to discussing actual exit strategies. Unless you’ve found a way to hop realities.

              Lol.

              No, it means its getting increasingly bloody as more and more Russians and Ukrainians get thrown in the meat grinder without a path to victory for Ukraine. That isn’t winning.

              The fact that Russia (a supposed world super power) is still there means Ukraine is winning.

              The fact that Russia didnt shock and awe it’s way across a country that has the entirety of NATO backing it means Russia is losing? Lmao ok.
              NATO is running out of equipment because it’s supplying Ukraine. Russia is basically taking on NATO and winning, but go off

          Then they deserve defeat at the hands of Ukraine.

          I disagree, but even if I agreed I’d accept the material reality that is that Ukraine is bleeding people. The have a volksturm going on, it’s a meat grinder, I think they should stop this mindless slaughter
