> Russia does not have enough power to conquer Ukraine, and Ukraine does not have enough power to conquer Russia

Ukraine is not trying to conquer Russia. It’s only trying to free its occupied territories. And it has the power to do so. HIMARS and stuf …

The poster you respond to isn't claiming that Ukraine is trying to do so, the rest of line the you quote from is important.

I understand their argument, but I dispute it. The way things are going, the war is not going to last for years. Russia's military is collapsing. They have low morale, little training, bad leadership, little to no will to fight, deprecated weapons, no strategy, no allies. Ukraine's military has great motivation and morale, phenomenal public image, good training (and getting better every day), good troop rotation, great intelligence, numerous allies. And now they have the silver bullet too, in the from of HIMARS.

We are not watching a slog. We are watching a lopsided fight.
