Reply to comment by Sreg32 in Putin prepares for another offensive to conquer Ukraine, NATO’s Stoltenberg warns by imaginationdragon1

That's the exact opposite of playing the long game, Russia has one of the worst population growth rates on Earth. They need every young man they can get. If Western estimates are accurate, they're going to feel this war bad in 20 years.

No doubt their country is being run into the sewer and will be be for a long time. But he does have the advantage of throwing bodies at the war for much longer than Ukraine can afford, unless the Russian attrition rate is maintained and NATO support is maintained

I just don’t get the waffling with western countries regarding support. They should know by know nothing will change with Putin, so the quicker they more forcefully support Ukraine, then maybe the quicker Russia is pushed back and a peace agreement is signed

No agreement will ever work this time, especially with Putin. It's only defeat or die

Well, no doubt that peace agreement will include Ukraine joining NATO.

Remember, it’s not about NATO expanding closer to Russia, it’s about not being able to take over countries that NATO has expanded into.
