Ukraine is fighting intelligently. Russia is not. How long will the Putin regime last? I'm betting not past this spring. When it collapses, all the families of the fallen will not be in a very forgiving mood for the almost 1.2 million casualties. Will anyone care the slightest that all they got for it were some old Soviet steel mills and coal mines? I hope American and European military and intelligence agencies are running simulations to prepare for the Putin regime's collapse. It's not going to be pretty. China will be the big winner. Anyway, that's where vodka gets you.
