Russia has lost almost a third of its overall military hardware. Much more when it comes to modern systems.
Russia will not stop with Ukraine, me and others told you so before.
Up to now Ukraine is fighting the war for Europe and the west, and if we do not stop them now this will develop into a world-wide war.

I wonder why anyone here thinks that things will get back to normal "when the war is over". The war will not be over with Ukraine, stop dreaming. And there is not enough engagement now to end this war, by the west. Nothing will get "back to normal".

Agree 100% Catfish.



IMO there is really no such thing as a European "normal". Viewed historically the past 77 years, or at least the last 31, have been an uncharacteristically peaceful period in European History and I have often wondered how long it would last.
