Jake Broe has an interesting take on the most likely ending to Putin's "special military operation." According to him, "
Ukraine will not win this war militarily (there is a better way)."
Russia is concealing the true size of their mobilization and it is more likely 1.2 million Russian men are being sent to Ukraine to fight. If this happens, it will be very difficult for the Ukrainian military to push them all out. What is far more likely to happen is an economic collapse and political revolution in Russia that leads to the withdrawal of the Russian military.
After analyzing charts showing current trends like inflation rates, interest rates, demographics etc., he suggests 4 likely possibilities for how the Ukraine fiasco might end.
1) FSB removes Putin and takes control.
2) Military removes Putin and takes control.
3) Protesters reach critical mass.
4) Russia breaks up (War lords take control).
See the video further breaking down how each of these scenarios will progress. Each of the above scenarios, according to him, will result in all Russian troops being removed from Ukraine and restoring Ukraine's 2014 borders, at least, and perhaps restoring even Crimea to Ukraine's control.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
