Does anyone seriously expect Putin and the Russians to sit by passively as Ukraine spends two years to equip and train (largely at US taxpayer expense) a reconstituted half a million man army?

I think Putin learned his lesson when Ukraine and NATO used the Minsk 2 Agreement as a subterfuge to buy time to create a more robust Ukraine military force. He won't go down that road a second time!

thanks stephen.. good overview.. how many ukrainians have to die to satisfy usa-natos agenda here? i see the concept of any peace settlement is virtually impossible on the part of usa-ukraine.. trying to get ukrainian men who have voted on this with their feet - to return - it seems problematic at best..

john mearsheimer has a good substack article up which is worth the read - https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/bound-to-lose
