Ukrainians beginning to win?

     "Ukraine has been pummeling Russian oil sites and warehouses that are part of Russia's military supply chain. In 2026 Ukraine has achieved an 8-1 casualty ratio. This could create a window of opportunity for peace talks. But Russia is preparing a move which may include 30,000 new (more) troops from North Korea. (What a shame for men who never volunteered for war.)

     "Starting in 2022, both sides have intensified their tactics. Russia's drone and missile strikes nearly killed 300 civilians and wounded another 1,800. Destruction of Ukrainian energy and heating capacity set conditions for a brutal winter. Russia's economy suffers from inflation and high costs of war. 

     "The supply of Ukraine weapons is dwindling, and America's involvement in Iran adds to the problem. The Senate passed a bill in August to impose sanctions against Russia. If approved, the bill includes extreme measures against Russia's economic machinery, oil and natural gas. America runs a charity in Ukraine. 

     "In Washington, William Taylor notes that 'Putin is still the biggest obstacle to peace. When he finally concedes that too many Russians have died, the economy is too weak, and Europe and the U.S. are against him...he will lay aside the might of the Russian military.'" 

Views isn't convinced Vladimir Putin will ever give it up. He is placing images of Joseph Stalin all over the nation. Stalin was born in Georgia with a very long name and became Russian dictator from 1924 to 1953. Stalin was a Marxist. Russia controlled numerous nations in its Soviet Empire. He welcomed America's help in stopping Hitler's invasion; then he tried to force the U.S., England and France out of Germany, where we/they were sent to restore civilization.* Russia then built a large wall around its German territory (apparently to keep Germans from escaping for freedom. Gun men saw to it.) Putin has nukes which his military wants him to use. Doesn't he want to be remembered, like Stalin?
