I still think that Ukraine committed a great stupidity by not making an unconditional surrender in March last year. Ukraine did not have, does not have and will not have a chance in confrontation with Russia. Any tactical success is simply an increase in the number of deadweight losses and an increase in the amount of debt to Western countries, for which future generations will have to pay.

You seem to be very confident about Russia abilities to continue war for many years with unlimited number of tanks, missiles human power and etc. And at the same time you understimate West. Things like Himars is cool, but in general, NATO countries gave to Ukraine things that they don't need themelves. Like tanks from soviet era, post WW2 howitzers. But they aren't getting things what would be real game changer like long range missiles for HIMARS, combat aircrafts and etc. There is so much noise about air defense systems or Leopard tanks because West still fear to ''escalate conflict. But Ukraine achieved a lot already with things that they have.

Yep, and I have repeatedly said that time works for Russia. And I don't underestimate the West. Not only is it unprofitable for the West to enter into direct confrontation with Russia, it is also unprofitable for the excessive escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. Because if it gets out of control, this fire could engulf the whole of Europe.

The problem is not if it is "profitable" to confront the RF (it is already happening in case you have not noticed, it is just that Europe is not sending people), the problem is that having the RF, which has given proof of being aggressive, at the doors of Poland and Central Europe is even more expensive than "confronting".

But the cure for overconfidence is simply loosing. The problem is that it comes at a huge cost, as you will eventually learn.
