Do You Think the Russians Will Prevail in the Coming Weeks?

i am very concerned that the western media have fallen in love, rather belatedly, with voladimir zalenski. And we should allow our arviewers a more sober assessment of the likely outcome of the coming weeks. My read as an amateur armchair historian strategist is that the russians can take significantly more ukranian territory and inflict significantly more damage on ucranian cities then the public in the west is being led to expect. It's going to be blunt, bloody, barbaric. The more he loses, the more he will seek to escalate the stakes. That's the russian play book.
