I don’t think Russia is winner, it is not about Ukraine thousands are perishing fighting for West. It is about getting rid of Ukrainians and replacing them with NATO so Nato will forever be thorn next to Russia. They made Russia fight next door means Russia is in the most danger situation. If it was strong, it would not fight next door but at Natos door. NATO will be the winner eventually because Russia will be stretched too thin. Like NATO, if it brought its “Allie’s” to fight then that is different story. It’s alliance with China and India is superficial becauseChina and India have strong economic relations with West therefore, compromised. Iran is weak, can’t even fight lsrael

What would that scenario mean to the world? World war III? The world would be with very unknown future. In any case, Ukraine people lost not only territory but many things (house, wealth, stable life) in an irreversible way. Left their country in millions almost like forever.

Russia will be a winner when the Kyiv administration is weakened to the point that it will sign away its eastern territories that are already occupied by Russians willingly to stop the war. Russia's goal all along has been to weaken Kyiv but alive.
Next year, Kyiv will do what Woyane did to Assab and the war will end. Donald Trump will be crowned as the facilitator of that negotiation.

I read news that when there was coup in Ukraine in 2014, things to go wrong. Guess what the news said there was some kind of satanic movement and Protestant movement forming a cult began taking over the government in Ukraine. Does that sound familiar in Ethiopia?

Fu….ckers, let me set you straight.

The war is about Ukraine joining the NATO.Putin is not comfortable seeing NATO along his borders. Creamea has always been part of Russia before the Soviet Union came to reality. Ukraine was the most important region in the Soviet Union Empire. If UKraine stops the intent to join NATO, the war ends instantly. But then again, with his new found Russian power, Poland could be exposed. If Putin dares to do so, that would be the end of Russia if not the whole planet. Russia knows, while the Democrats are out of the White House, they have to end global conflict.

Russia is winning the war. There should be no doubt about it.

It is a proxy war, the US through NATO vs Russia.
Ukraine should never have allowed this to happen. They acted very very stupid. So is Europe. They would have built an economy empire if they were smart enough to stay neutral and build a good relationship with both powers. It all started in 2014. Ukraine will never be a viable state again because the Russians will not allow it.
The West did what it can and failed to prevail.

The West simply assumed that they are militarily superior to Russia and the sanctions will bring Russia to its knees.

Napoleon, Hitler, Kaiser, the British, Sweden etc at one point in history assumed the same way and failed. Napoleon and Hitler lost their empires. And some said this adventure by the US is the beginning of the end of the US empire.

The US doesn’t have a vital interests in Ukraine. Ultimately they will throw Ukraine under the bus and leave. While it is an existential threat for Russia, it is not for the US.
The US vital interest is in the indo-pacific/china.
Ukraine will break up into 3 parts. Both Poland and Hungary have a legitimate land claims in Ukraine and they will get it.

The whole world is worse off, to a varying degree off course. But that does not mean Russia is winning. Putin did not start the war to kill many Ukrainian's or destroy their infrastructure, nor did he start the war to make life difficult to the rest of the world. Winning or losing a war is measured on grand strategic level at achieving the object of war, the reason for which the war was fought.

War is one means of political intercourse, characterized by military force, to accomplish political ends. What political ends did the Russia achieve? Was one of the world's largest countries with only 144 million population really looking to take land off another large country when Putin started the war? What happened to the goal of entering Kiev in 3 days and installing a pro-Russia government and leave? What happened to the political goal of stopping NATO getting closer to the Russian border when Sweden and Finland applied to joined NATO after the start or Ukraine War?

ዮክሬን በጦርነቱ ምክንያት ወደ 500 ቢሊዮን ዶላር የሚገመት ንብረት ወድሞባታል። እስኪ ዩኔስኮ መጥቶ ይገነባልናል ብለው ዝንባቸውን እሽ እያሉ እንደሚቀላውጡት ሻቦዎች እነሱም የUncle Samን እርጥባን ይጠብቁ እንደሆነ እናያለን።

I think the conflict is centered around NATO's expansion towards Russia's borders. Putin decided to invaded Ukraine to stop NATO's expansion into Ukraine by installing a pro-Russia government in Kiev. He didn't invade Ukraine to damage Ukraine's grain production and push up global prices of wheat which stresses poorer economies worse.

Ukrainian politicians were split into two polarized positions: one section wants to join EU, NATO and get closer to Europe and the other section wants to remain closer to Russia. Putin decided to invade Kiev to topple the government that wanted to be closer to EU and replace them with a government that wants to remain closer to Russia and put an end to NATO's expansion towards Russia's border.

Putin's success should be assessed whether the invasion of Ukraine halted NATO expansion closer to Russian border or not. If the war has brought NATO to even closer proximity and concentration towards Russian borders, it is failure. If the war has halted NATO's expansion, it is a success. Did Russia became more encircled by NATO or less encircled by NATO as a result of the war? Does NATO's expansion to Sweden and Finland show that Putin's grave miscalculation?




Map shows how Russia's border with NATO more than doubles with Finland as a member (Finland has an 830-mile border with Russia, meaning NATO reached to touch additional 830 miles border of Russia. Remember, the current post-Ukraine-War border of NATO and Russia is the old plus new border lines )


Finland, along with its neighbor Sweden, applied to join NATO in May 2022, reversing decades-long policies of maintaining military neutrality on the global stage.Russia's war in Ukraine prompted the nations to change their position.

በዋናኝነት የሚመሳስላቸው ነገር አለ

-- ኤርትራ የኢትዮጵያ ህጋዊ ይዞታ የሆነውን አሰብ ወደብ እና ባርህ በስርቆት በመያዝ በስጋት እና በጭንቀት ውስጥ ያለች ስትሆን ሩስያ የክሪምያ ክፍል የእራሴ ነው በስህተት ወደ ዩክሬን የተላለፈ በሚል ቀምታ ይዛለች። ኤርትራ ደግሞ ኡ!ኡ! ግብጥ እባክሽ አድኝኝ ላይ ነች።

--ኤርትራ በምዕራባዊያን እና አረብ አገራት እጅ ተጠፍጥፋ የተሰራች ንዑስ ክፍል ስትሆን (ይህም ማንነት የአገርነት ተክለ-ቁመና ይሆን ህይወት ያልሰጣት)፥ የዩክሬንም አደናጋሪ ቀውስ ይኸው ይመስላል - የምዕባዊ ነን እና የሩስያነን ባዮች የማንነት ቀውስ የጦርነት ፍጥጫ።

ግን አንድ ትልቅ ልዩነት አላቸው።

የኤርትራ ስድተኛ እና የዩክሬን ስደተኛ ስታነጻጽር የቀድሞ ህይወታቸው ልዩነት በገጻቸው ላይ ይታያል። የኤርትራ ስደተኛ ሻዕብያ አሰቃይቶ አሽቶ አሽቶ ስለጨረሳቸው ውሃ ገብታ የወጣች አይጥ መስለው ይታያሉ፤ የዩክሬን ግን ደላ መቸት እንዳላቸው ለብሰው ሙቀው ታያቸዋለህ - ምንም እንኳን ስደት ክፉ አጋጣሚ ቢሆንም። የሃብታም እና የድሃ ሀዘን ለየት ይላል።

Finland, along with its neighbor Sweden, applied to join NATO in May 2022, reversing decades-long policies of maintaining military neutrality on the global stage.Russia's war in Ukraine prompted the nations to change their position.
