Oddly... Russian success might bring faster Russian surrender and retreat. [View all]

This is just my opinion.

If the Russians keep getting their asses handed to them... and that's what's happening now...

The Russians will keep pouring the troops and heavy weapons in until they achieve some success.

IF the Russians take Kiev or maybe Kharkiv... any sort of undeniable victory, I think they rush to the negotiation table and cut a quick deal to GTFO of Ukraine.

I think to save face... they'll settle for the smallest of concessions and the Ukrainians will have won a BIG TIME victory.

But for a megalomaniac like Putin, he's not going to stop when the score is 13-0

He needs SOMETHING to cover up for his failure, some kind of victory.

IMHO, if it keeps going the way it goes now... he's going to bring in artillery, mlrs and aerial strikes, probably causing a LOT more damage and death to all sides.

Think back to Gettysburg. 2 Days of Lee getting his ass kicked, came close a few times but no cigar. Arrogance and Hubris took over on July 3, 1863 and he ran his troops into a meat grinder. He ordered one of the largest artillery barrages in the History of the planet at the time.

Desperation breeds recklessness.

That's opinion based on analysis.

Does it mean I'm hoping for a Russian victory? NO!!!

It's just analysis, cold clean analysis based on the situation.
