    That is what i meant yes. Last i checked Zelinsky isn’t hoping to one day rule the continent/world as an emperor. There defending, its Putin that is on a conquest to expand an empire. The blood of both sides is on his hands.

    It is my feeling that russia will collapse itself trying to win
    precisely because Ukraine receives intel and support right now, doing things much more efficiently then Russia mismanagement ever could.

    I could be wrong but my expectation is that in 4 years Putin wont even be in charge anymore.

    These planes are like the stereotypical cavalerie. Effective war machine? Yes. But always comes to late when the battle is over.

      Fair. You should change Emperors to Emperor then. That way it looks less “both sides”y.
