Latest S2 Update on Ukraine

[ABNARTY]

It is looking like the Winter War in 1939-40.

Ukraine is fighting.  But they can't hold out forever on their own.(1)

Putin's army is incompetent.  But they'll get better under the pressure of war.  At some point, Russia will 'win', although that 'win' may not be what Putin wants.

Re: Russian regime.

Conspiracy theorists enjoy discussing the concept of the 'Deep State'.  They seem to miss the idea that countries other than the USA have deep states as well.  Russia had one since at least 1917.  What is different now is that the Russian deep state has become THE state(2).  They eliminated all other centers of power.  Thus, Putin and his ilk who can't see the world in terms of anything but the Cold War.

Cheers

1. Very true. Quantity has a quality all to it's own or something like that. 

2. I agree this is accurate. It makes me wonder about the US. There is NO WAY on the Lord's green Earth the jokers in DC can run anything. Biden? Harris? Pelosi? Straight Potemkin Village. I am guessing here in the US the Deep State is indeed running the show but has some useful idiots out there to take the fall when needed.
