[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Ukraine has fought valiantly, but "it's over". Get to the table and salvage what you can. Yes, US "superweapons" are on the way, but you need Ukranian men to fire them - and those men are largely untrained. Ukraine cannot lose 2000 men in one shot (Mariupol) and expect to remain a fighting force much longer. However inept they proved to be during the first phases of the war, back when Russia thought they could conquer the whole country in three days or less, they simply have more "assets" with which to wage war. It's no different than how "we" were able to secure a beachhead at Normandy to land sufficient men and munitions so that eleven months later that "we" and our then-Russian allies were able to defeat Germany. The "three to one advantage" immediately noted by Mr. Harris is fast becoming reality. But the Western World is "tiring" of the war, The USA has enough other political and economic problems to occupy "us", and Western Europe would privately like to resume normal trade relations with Russia. So Ukraine, "get to the table"; perhaps you can salvage one of your Black Sea ports to be established as an "open port" (Danzig/Gdansk post WWI) to enable movement of your agricultural bounty, but I think you must accept that the Donbas region simply will belong to Russia.
