What remaining access will Ukraine fight to the end for? Russia has access and can get by without it = just greedy. The UN/Turkey can close the Dardanelles to Russian ships. (already have forbidden russian warships exiting, but allow commerce) Can Turkey stand up to Russia plus the UN? Will Russia/China Veto any of this leaving Turkey alone? It has a higher GNP, but fewer people than Russia.
One hopes NATO unity plus many others will make the sanction cut deeply.
If China/India support Russia will they also be sanctioned = huge hurt for them and will that curb Russia?
The truth is Russia is bombarding from afar. Whenever their conscripts faced skilled and battle hardened vets they fled/folded/died. The magnitude of Russia's forces tell me they will, in time have a chance to stomp Ukraine - as long as they have any feet left!!
Do you know Russia maintains an army cohort called sort of Battle Police to keep conscripts from desertion? The USA/UK have no such force or need. Russian conscripts know they are like dirt to the elites and only battle police make them advance - lesser of two evils is the conscript's choice.
The UK hasn't used conscripts in a conflict in which they were at serious risk of getting killed since 1951 (Korean War), I think, though I could be wrong. In any case, there have been no conscripts in the armed services after 1963. When did the USA last put conscripts into serious danger? Vietnam, 1975?
The end goals and milestones of Russia seem mysterious right now though.
