I've said from the beginning that this will all come down to the will to fight. Ukrainians have a deep historical animosity toward Moscow a lot of which is within families' personal histories.

Stalin "exiled" 5 or 6 million leading Ukrainians who were never seen again and then starved another 5 or 6 million to death as he was exporting grain to Europe for cash. That won't be forgotten.

I predict that Russia will crumble from the ground up.

Russia has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world, and more than 3.5 million worked in Russia in 2020. Its common for Ukrainians in the eastern and southerner regions to have family that live in Russia.

It isn’t the Balkans either. You don’t have multigenerational blood feuds, or ethno religious squabbles.

How is Ukraine going to invade Russia let alone push them out of the occupied areas?

I hope smart people are a little concerned for the worlds largest stockpile of nukes when everyone seems to be cheering for the complete destruction of Russia.

I really do hope it all works out but destabilizing that many nukes is quite concerning…..
