Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[BeBMan]

So you have actually no idea how long Ukraine can hold out, glad we have it sorted

Meanwhile, Russia is about to have the rug pulled out from under it economically, mostly thanks to Turkey...

What a pointless waste... 😢

Yeah, if only Russia would stop fighting and go home. No wait....

This video makes a lot of "never again will..." claims that are probably absurd for any of the consequences, especially for Russia. All Russia really needs is a naval/airbase on the Mediterranean. Eventually Russia has the means to make that happen, especially after demonstrating just how far they went to back up the Syrian regime to protect that earlier arrangement.

Also, the new regime has huge practical needs and their real domestic enemy is gone. That new regime probably will be most protective of all of their Turkish relations but not necessarily above letting Iran and Russia buy back the Syrian arrangements they insist on getting once the price is right.

The question is, how eventually? Not eventually enough for Syria, let alone Iran, which wanted Russian air defense units shortly after that Israeli missle salvo and got a firm "no" in response.

Iran had Russia's S-400 air defense system which Serb claimed was supposedly the best in the world. Unfortunately, Israeli F-35 jets were able to destroy them without even getting detected.
