This was the only outcome possible, it baffled me back in march so many were buying the western media line of Russia not being able to do much.
Most wars take many years, and when Russia has such an overwhelming advantage in terms of guns, planes, artillery and man power, there's only one outcome.
Zelensky can be brave and hold out for another two years if he wants, but this is not Churchill with a strong British army and an ocean separating him from the Germans, there will only be one outcome for Ukraine.
The sad thing is it's in the interest of pretty much everyone but the Ukrainians and the Russians for the war to be long, drawn-out and bloody, which just means a lot of suffering for the Ukrainians to come. Putin won't care, we've seen many times in the past that he'll allow great suffering on his own people to come out victorious.
