(#4877) The shift in Ukraine winning it all began the last few days

      The battle for Kherson will decide this invasions outcome. The fighting has been fierce and relentless yet the Ukrainians are not to be defeated. The Russians on the other hand are being killed and wounded at an astounding rate. If the Russians cannot take Kherson they will be bum rushed out of Ukraine swiftly. Russia has put all its forces on taking Kherson so as to complete the takeover of the eastern region of Ukraine, yet without Kherson they cannot hold what they already have taken. They will be shoved back to their international border and beyond.
     So as the fighting continues over the next few days the outcome of this murderous invasion of Ukraine by Russia and specifically by putin will be decided for all intents and purposes. The west has been hesitant in describing this invasion for reasons that escape me but those who are on the ground are more specific in their assessment of what is happening. The Russian army is being slaughtered and putin is not doing anything to retreat so the Russian blood that soaks Ukrainian soil is going to continue. The ego of putin will not allow him to admit defeat because for one it will end badly for him with the kremlin and secondly he is a psychopath who would rather kill all of his citizens than admit he failed.
     By the beginning of next week we will know that Ukraine has successfully defended the takeover of the eastern section of it's sovereignty. The new weapon systems coming to Ukraine from the west are being deployed now and it is just a mater of time before the Russian horde is on it's bloody trail home with their tails between their legs. When Russia is shown that they cannot take the east of Ukraine the real battle for putin begins. Instead of a victory he could herald to his kremlin buddies he will be hiding from his kremlin buddies as they realize that putin is no savior nor a strongman.
