Western allies are not keen to end this war...they want Ukraine fighting Russia for a long time.

This works to Putin advantage. Russian Military can afford to sit back sending few missiles to Kiev every now and then. Can Ukraine afford that ? 80% of ukraine population has no power or gas in the middle of winter. Western allies will soon get tired of sending money and weapons to prop up comedian govt. Then there is rebuilding..it will take trillions to rebuild Ukraine...I doubt western allies are eager to cough that money.

Russian will be defeated and will foot the bill. Western allies are lynching Putin. He cant win. They will keep sending weapons while increasing sanctions on Russia.

The last thing remaining is to ask China and India to cut off trade with Russia. Trust me India and China will not lose EU/US market for cheap Russian oil/gas.

Then Russia will rush to negotiation table - they will be told to get out of Ukraine - retain Crimea - and rebuild Ukraine - from their oil and gas - which EU will import for free :) and money wired to Ukraine - until Russia complete paying for senseless shelling - in meantime Ukraine will be part of EU/NATO.

Putin by then is likely to have been killed by russians.

Russia has proven sanctions can only work on small economies like Mugabe Zimbabwe. Russia still exporting most of their oil and gas to Europe. I doubt China and India are ready to suffer to please western govt.  Its purely selfish and stupid to subject Ukrainian to this kind of misery on unwinnable war fighting with borrowed equipment. If Nato want to win or think they can win they would send boots to the ground. Outcome is obvious.

Russia defeated Hitler and his coalition of Axis even though it took five years . It will be replicated  . Afghanistan were sanctioned to the core and NATO coalition had the most advanced weapons and equipments  but still lost after 20 years of waging the war.

You seem not to understand what is happening when you think India and China will join ant Russia coalition actually the opposite is happening they have increased their trade with Russia . China is already in Cold war with Western countries being sanctioned left and right .
I think you dont understand that Russia has not even mobilized . Russia has a population of more than a hundred Million if they were to enter a patriotic war their full mobilization will be the current remaining Ukrainian population.
Pundit it took a month for you to get brainwashed by Western media now think of those who have been feeding of Western media since 1980s.

Wacha mambo ya World war 2 :)

USSR/Soviet were defeated by US in afgan using this same Ukranian model - marking the end of cold war.
US financed Muhajideen who gave Soviet/USSR hell for 10yrs - while their economy tanked.

Russia is fighting a lost battle - because Ukraine are fighting in their country.
Russia are not welcomed in Ukraine.

For Russia to win this war - they should have gone for quck SHOCK and AWE - take over KIEV - put Russian leaning president - then do fake referendum in Donbas/Luhasnk.

They failed. They've now lost 100k men - lost territory - and Ukraine is getting free weapons.

What is happening here is very clear.

Western Alies are united. EU/US is like 50% of world economy.

Europe now are busy decoupling from Russia. It almost complete.

Once they are energy sufficient - next is to find India/China alternative oil and gas- this is maybe 1-2yrs away - EU/US oil majors are busy at work.

Then they squeeze Russia. They just need to squeeze oil and gas exports - Russia goes bankrupt.

In meantime Ukrainian are doing great job because they are fighting at home.

Soviet-Afgan - US backed Afgan - end results - Soviet collapse.

NATO versus Afgan -  NATO pulled out

Difference - Democracy versus Dictatorship.

US has managed to get out of bad wars because the politicians listen to public or they get fired. Veitnam/Afgan/etc - Western Nations cut their losses when it became unjustifiably high.

Russia only listen to Putin Now. He can dig in for a long time - at great cost - already 100K russian soldiers dead

Collapse of Soviet squarely lays in the hand of Gorbachiev through his policies if Glasnost ,Perestroika  and his not intervention foreign policy . Putin also made the mistakes by refusing to intervene in Ukraine in 2014 when the President of Ukraine Yankuvich had given him greenlight under international law to help quell rhe western sponsored revolution in Ukraine . He learnt from mistakes and intervened to save Asad in Syria and last year stopped the revolution in Kazakhstan. He currently is correcting his mistakes . Allowing Baltic countries to enter NATO was a mistake.
You seem not to understand what is happening only parroting What Western media is broadcasting daily .
