> If so, then the current stalemate should be enough

I'd disagree again. It might be enough but incremental escalation inside Russia will hasten their defeat.

To win a war you must defeat the moral of the people.

The recent small attacks by drones in Russia are making that point with Russians who aren't able to follow the war or can't find the truth, as is inflation in Russia, the draft, and dead military family members.

The escalation of drone and missile attacks inside Russia are incremental in nature where as an invasion cannot be incremental.

The allied strategy isn't dictated by Biden, its a joint strategy where the US remains behind the scene to a large extent. For example: When a NATO ally decides to give Ukraine advanced systems I'm sure Biden's admin has tacitly guaranteed to replace those systems with equal or more advanced systems. Much less provocative than just having us give them the systems. The strategy is very deliberate and steady.

I'm guessing NATO gave the Ukrainians tacit approval for incremental strikes inside Russia. Putin can't make too much of them as they're embarrassing to him. But the Russian people hear about them.

I thought this "The Great Courses" History's Greatest Strategic Thinkers was very good.

I'm watching another of his classes on "The Great Courses" now. Imperial China. I took a similar course in college and it was very interesting.
