I have to say that I think Ukraine will lose. Russia is a bigger country, with far greater resources. The West is politically confused at the moment, the people divided, and will lose interest.
It is a huge shame, to say the least. You know, the problem with the West these days is that it has lost focus. America is tearing itself apart and Europe, for decades, has buried its head in the sand and pretended that another major war is out of the question.
Democracy is backfiring in the West. We are divided, and unfortunately it only takes a very small minority to derail any efforts to maintain security and defence. Of course, no one wants war, but whether we like it or not, war happens. And we are not prepared at all.
So many Americans just want to close their borders and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist. That's not a sign of a great country, it is the sign of an empire in decline. Sooner or later the rest of the world will come knocking.
