    what are the odds Ukraine actually takes back their territory? The vaunted summer counteroffensive was a complete and abject failure

      They stopped and presented most of their combat power when it looked like it was going to be a waste like Russia’s recent offensives. They shifted to an attritional fight. You are right in line with the Russian narrative though.

      High on taking back northern regions by Kiev, the northern parts and Odessa, medium on eastern territories, and low on Crimea.

        Why do you think it’s more likely that they will take back Crimea?

            The message you replied to says odds, though.

              Low odds means low likelihood right? I think technically odds are referred to in long and short, but that’s weird.

                Pretty sure a low likelihood yields high odds and vice versa.

      Ukraine doesn’t have to take back its territory.

      Russia will be forced by NATO to do that, just like how Germany lost so many territories it conquered after WW1.

        You do understand that Russia has nuclear weapons and it’s ruled by psychopaths, which sort of make that sort of stuff very costly for literally the entire planet?
