I also don't know why they keep saying it's going to be a stalemate, Russia is already taking kilometres on the north which is more than Ukraine managed to take during the whole two months now.
Once the offensive burns itself out, it's almost certain that Russia will start a serious offensive of their own.
This take betrays a lack of understand of the nature of the war. It wasn't for those things.
NATO expansion is certainly about resources, but it's fundamentally about destroying Russia like they helped do to the USSR three decades ago, both to get rid of Amerika's second biggest geopolitical enemy and to weaken China. The Russian intervention in the war was to prevent this, not to conquer Ukraine's natural resources (although I'm sure there are capitalists as well as people in the Russian government who want to do this). Intervening in the genocide in the Donbas after all these years also helped increase popular support for the Russian government, which does matter to some extent
I agree it really is a war between capitalists and as such I have a tendency to say fuck them all. But NATO nuclear missiles in Ukraine with a 6 min flight time.. yeah I can see why Putin reacted the way he did so gotta say in the final analysis the west provoked this war because they wanted to give Russia it's own Vietnam. Who loses? The people. Who wins? The capitalists. Same as it ever was.
That's why we need to focus on the goal of dismantling capitalism. that my internet friend is the real enemy
