So does anyone here think that Ukraine has any chance against the Russian Behemoth?

it looks to me that they are fighting a futile war at the moment and should negotiate a peace deal.

They won't win.
Neither will Russia.
This futile war will last decades.
It suits the Western world to keep Russia occupied.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales Why need an occupied Russia? Russia is much less important globally than in Soviet times.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales It may suit the US to keep the war going in Ukraine. The EU is going to suffer economically. Russia has now weaned itself from the west, reverting to the Iron Curtain era.
@Gloomy not occupied as in invaded.By supplying Ukraine with weapons
the west are keeping Russia occupied.And It is working well.
Russia will eventually get fed up and leave but not for a long time.
One day Ukraine will realise they are being used.
I just can't see how this war ends...and as someone with a History Degree I have studied plenty of wars and lots of Russian history.
This one had no reason for starting and neither side wants to end it.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales That's what I meant. There is no gain by keeping Russia in this war because Russia hasn't been that relevant.

@sree251 I would go even further than that and say with the BRICS+ Ecconomic block, they are taking a lot of the workld with them. I have had people say that they will not replace the West's ecconomy, but they don't need to. While BRICS+ is getting more solid, The EU ecconomy is declining and so for that matter is the US. Relying on debt the way it does has to end some where.

@TwistedApe I don't know how western Europe is coping with the economy. Here in the US, people are bone lazy compared to workers outside the country. We are fat and lazy. Even the down and out homeless are fat and lazy. The top 1% may be innovative enough to maintain a competitive edge or cheat but the other 99% are walking around looking at their cellphones and living lives financed by debt and government support. It's depressing.
