It can be said that Russia already defeated the courageous, well trained and well armed Ukrainian military - by last Summer. Now, they’re fighting the newly rebuilt and re-armed NEW Ukrainian army, which (apparently) includes several thousand foreign volunteers. I don’t think Russia ever planned to conquer ALL of Ukraine. In fact, as early as last March, when Zelensky proposed peace based on the Minsk accords, the Russians jumped on it. Wanted it. But, it didn’t happen - between pressure from Boris Johnson and the U.S. Admin, the guy changed his tune - literally - overnight. Now, he won’t even talk about peace until he gets back all territories including Crimea - plus reparations. And Russia’s leadership would have to stand trial.

seems to have forgotten about nukeing japan, despite our military prowess as 'what ended' WWII but it's ok when WE do it we had great generals, and Eisenhower said it best: "Beware the military/industrial complex." from an article in Politico 2019 quoting Eisenhower....(wonder what the say now) politico.com “In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
