Ukraine's 30m people are no match for Russia's 145m people, and Ukraine's munitions are no match for Russia's overwhelming stockpile. It is time to face the fact that Ukraine will eventually lose. And, to Putin's mind, it doesn't matter how long it will take. He will just grind Ukraine into the dust.
Those people happy that we "weakened" Putin really don't know what they're talking about.
