Even if Russia was able to destroy the Ukraine cities with bombs and missiles in a day, that would not win the war. It would continue as a Gorilla war with the West supplying Ukraine forces. However, would the cost in money and Russia lives be worth it to Russia?Paul Craig Roberts (born April 3, 1939) is an American economist and author. He formerly held a sub-cabinet office in the United States federal government as well as teaching positions at several U.S. universities. He is a promoter of supply-side economics and an opponent of recent U.S. foreign policy.
Roberts received a doctorate from the University of Virginia where he studied under G. Warren Nutter. He worked as an analyst and adviser at the United States Congress where he was credited as the primary author of the original draft of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. He was the United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy under President Ronald Reagan and – after leaving government – held the William E. Simon chair in economics at the Center for Strategic and International Studies for ten years and served on several corporate boards. A former associate editor at The Wall Street Journal, his articles have also appeared in The New York Times and Harper's, and he is the author of more than a dozen books and a number of peer-reviewed papers.

Paul Craig Roberts
Moon of Alabama has proven to be a reliable source of reporting on the conflict in Ukraine. The posting of November 23 indicates that some part of the Russian government or military has finally realized that Russia is at war. You can read the account here: MoA - Ukraine - Lights Out, No Water And Soon No Heat
The eight-month old Kremlin policy of protecting Ukraine from attack, thus helping Ukraine to conduct war against the Russian forces, seems to have come to an end. The infrastructure–power, transportation, water–of Ukraine is being shut down. The real war Russian attacks on Ukraine’s ability to function have gradually escalated, resulting in wider and more serious damage. It seems that the Russians don’t want to destroy everything unless the West and its puppet Ukraine government fail to come to their senses.
The Western whore media, of course, doesn’t report the true situation. The Western presstitutes are a propaganda ministry and have created a picture of Russian defeat. It would be difficult to identify the worst liar in the Western media as there are endless candidates, but the UK Telegraph’s Charles Moore is a leading candidate for posting the most far-fetched reports: See, for example,” Vladimir Putin’s only hope now is to terrify the West into negotiating away Ukraine’s victories.” Vladimir Putin’s only hope now is to terrify the West into negotiating away Ukraine’s victories The Telegraph also tells us that “Ukraine could reach Crimea by Christmas” Russia-Ukraine war: Ukraine 'could reach Crimea by Christmas'
American so-called “Russian experts” spread the same delusions.
Consequently, the Western peoples have a totally false picture of the situation. Russia could destroy Ukraine in a day without using nuclear weapons. The Kremlin’s restraint–in my view a strategic blunder as it enabled the West to get involved and widen the war–in Ukraine has a number of legitimate reasons. Ukraine and the population there have been a part of Russia for centuries. There is much intermarriage. Most Ukrainians are not favorable to the neo-Nazis who have dominated Ukraine since the US overthrew the government in 2014 and have suffered at their hands. The Kremlin doesn’t want a poverty-stricken ruin of a country on its border, and the Kremlin doesn’t want the responsibility for rebuilding Ukraine’s infrastructure.
It is inconceivable to me that “experts” and “reporters” in the West are so stupid and corrupt to have written the ridiculous accounts of the conflict that bear their names. It is total nonsense and has encouraged the false belief that Russia can be defeated and that “Ukraine can be in Crimea by Christmas.”
That such absurd propaganda can be effective can result in the US/NATO putting boots on the ground, and then we have World War III.
From Washington’s standpoint, the more Ukraine is destroyed the better. If Putin finally abandons his half-way measures and gets down to real war, the war will soon be over. If Washington can prevent Zelensky from surrendering until Ukraine is destroyed, Washington gets the benefit of the economic and financial drain on Russia that rebuilding will impose. From Washington’s standpoint, the more problems for Russia the better regardless of the cost to Ukrainians.
What we are witnessing is the enormous inhumanity of Washington and the NATO capitals. It is unjust that it is Ukraine that is paying the cost of Western inhumanity and not Washington and the European capitals.

The US is not going to involve itself in the war other than suppling weaponry. Putin wants a cold with the west, not a hot one.Could?
Not without setting aside all the mutually agreed upon limitations of the war between Russia and America.
This is the discussion that needs to take place on this board.
And too, the gradual dispensing with many of the limitations, until Russia faces defeat and has to dispense with the ultimate limitation?
No US propaganda efforts are ever going to convince Russia that the enemy isn't America!
Last night's speech was telling in that America's war against Russia was played down to the point of saying nothing much more than that America will not stop it's support of the Ukraine. No victory propaganda.The US is not going to involve itself in the war other than suppling weaponry. Putin wants a cold with the west, not a hot one.
Because victory is assured, there is no need for victory propaganda.Last night's speech was telling in that America's war against Russia was played down to the point of saying nothing much more than that America will not stop it's support of the Ukraine. No victory propaganda.
And that is exactly what America's position should be. We'll support the Ukraine, but we're not going to fight their war.Last night's speech was telling in that America's war against Russia was played down to the point of saying nothing much more than that America will not stop it's support of the Ukraine. No victory propaganda.
It is not just their war, just as the Nazi attack on Czechoslovakia was not just their war. The Russian invasion of Ukraine occurred in the context of Russia violating nuclear treaty, investing heavily in hypersonic missiles to gain an advantage in the event of nuclear war, demands that NATO withdraw from eastern Europe and now threats of nuclear attacks on the UK, Germany and the US, all the while Putin proclaiming this is the start of a new world order in which Russia will sit at the top and the western democracies will just fade away.And that is exactly what America's position should be. We'll support the Ukraine, but we're not going to fight their war.
Ruzzian bot.
America is not at war with Russia you idiot.Last night's speech was telling in that America's war against Russia was played down to the point of saying nothing much more than that America will not stop it's support of the Ukraine. No victory propaganda.

America is not at war with Russia you idiot.
Regardless of what you may imagine was happening in Czechoslovakia, it did not provide grounds for the Nazi invasion, just as Putin's nonsensical complaints about Ukraine did not provide grounds for his invasion of Ukraine, and just as Germany was pushed back behind its borders Russia must be pushed back behind its borders or the whole notion of sovereignty becomes meaningless and we live in a world not ruled by law but only by the principle, might makes right.Give me a clear answer why this unstable construct from the winners of world war 1 not was called "Czecho-Germano-Slovakia". Why was the second greatest group of people - who had also lived since a longer time there than all others - ignored after world war 1 and was either murdered or displaced (=genocided) after world war 2?
It is foolish to think Putin believes what he tells the Russian people.What's not the opinion of Putin, isn't it?
In the Red Army they shot people for rape. Not always, but such behavior was strictly forbidden.Idiot. A rapist is by the way for us not a man.
