War in Ukraine

Russia is fine. They shook up some leadership and are coming back with more reinforcements. They simply didn't have enough men in the SMO to secure all of these areas. That will change in the next few weeks.
What will change? Are those mythical, elite Russian troops that have been playing war games with China and India going to show up? Or maybe the 100,000 North Korean troops are going to finally arrive in theater?
 
I very much doubt Ukraine will really be neutral after this, regardless of whether or not they get all their land back. They will get some security guarantees as part of any peace and then begin the process of joining Europe and its institutions. Neutrality is probably off the table at this point.
 
The Afghans fought and won the 3 day war over 20 years. If large amounts of forces wish to fight, it could go on for some time. The war is more or less over, just a matter of how many die and how much gets destroyed i.e. moot to the rest of the world.
You don't think the war in Afghanistan was maybe a little different than this war? If you think the war is over why is putin trying to conscript anyone and everyone to try and go fight for him? Why is he threatening nukes and the west for supplying weapons? Doesn't sound like someone who thinks he's winning". Of course you could mean the war is essentially over and the only question is how high is the body count for Russia going to be.

Things are desperate in Iran. The government sent in militias to just randomly start beating and shooting people. The militias busted into a top university (sharif technology), and started shooting and beating the students and teachers. The images are bloody and violent. The university students have joined the fight.

To determine the insignificant details.... how much land is obtain, how many dead, and how much of the Ukraine is turned into a parking lot.

The Ukraine is expendable by all major parties, nobody really cares.

Well according to your side, it's all happening on Russian soil now.

Maybe? So?

The Ukraine has been sentenced by the major parties for destruction. What goes on there is mostly moot to the rest of the world. Notice how you don't see anymore coverage about Afghanistan, why? Nobody cares, you will eventually get the same thing for the Ukraine.

Here you go with the generalizations. Is it "always" or was that just the situation that occurred in WWII under Stalin?

Russian life has been cheap from the Czars right on through Putin. There were a couple of reasonable Russian leaders just prior to Putin, so I suppose you are right "always" doesn't completely fit.

There has only be 1 actual Russian president other than Putin since the breakup of the soviet union and that was Yeltsin.
