"History has few examples in which a nation possessing all sorts of advantages was destroyed within a mere four decades. The Ukraine constitutes a unique case from this point of view".

Perhaps because, also uniquely, its "friends" as well as its adversaries conspired to harm it.

l'Ucraina è stata presa come testa di ponte dagli americani per distruggere la Russia, ma alla fine verrà cannibalizzata.

Infatti, mi pare però che questa volta si sono sbagliati perché non si sono resi conto del vero carattere dei Russi. L'Ucraina non può sopravivere.

The ground is drying out in the east west axis of attack. Ground very suitable for fast moving armor and mechanized infantry, close air support and artillery to bolster the attack of Russian Federation forces now very battle hardened and likely relentless in pressing the advantage. Mass and speed are the order of the advance. If they can come to terms before a major spring offensive maybe only just the eastern Oblasts will be ceded to the RF. But, if not, then who knows where it all ends up in the end geographically for map readers. One wonders if the DEI perfect generals and admirals in the US pentagon are watching what the RF forces are capable of doing. We know France and Great Britain are counting on the USA to ‘Backstop” their own plans. Which is likely why they are not invited to the talks in Saudi Arabia. Lots to wait and watch and see what develops.

A fine article; content, order and wording. For the sake of image I would like to add that Ukraine can be compared to France in terms of size, landscape, food and eventual prosperity. In particular the industrial area in the east could provide an enormous economic boost that could produce a prosperous nation. Unfortunately, the reality is different.

“It is extremely sad that the Ukraine was not destroyed by the common Ukrainian people. “

This is almost certainly a typo?
