Russia, being the largest nuclear Power ahead of America, have dropped anchor in Ukraine since February, have made it a life's mission to bring down Ukraine, upsetting the mundane life activities of its citizens.
While Ukraine is older in years to Russia, the latter seems to have increased in size and economic, military might. Because of this growth, they now see Ukraine as younger and are dominating them.
America have been known as one the countries who feel the strike against Ukraine is not necessary.
Recently, during the Easter celebration in Ukraine, they were visited by both secretaries of state and defense, Anthony Blinken and Lloyd Austin. These two managed to put a little hope in the hearts of the people of Russia.
My question is, it's true that America's military might is more than Russia, can they be able to defeat Russia out of benevolence or is there something attached?? Your thoughts please.
https://www.economist.com/europe/america-is-now-thinking-of-winning-the-war-in-ukraine/21808960Yes It is true that America's military is much stronger than that of Russia, In fact, if you understand Geo-politics, America's or NATO's interference in every world Conflict is a big reason why this war is happening in the first place. But is having a stronger military enough to win the war or at least in this situation stop a war? Answer is NO, unless it's 1945 and America was the only nuclear nation this would have been possible because US would have threatened a nuclear strike which is much more devastation than Russia would ever be able to do, but it 2022, Russia has equally strong Nuclear Arsenal to US, if US threatens nuclear strike, Russia will retaliate. So answer is NO, America with it's army can surely not end this war, but Diplomacy is the only solution here, if US can pitch in some agreement among both countries then they might be able stop this war.
Diplomacy with Russia is not possible because of its kleptocratic, fascist government. No agreement signed with Russia will hold.
The only way forward for Russia is to undergo a fundamental, progressive shift to a democratic, open society.
Russia has a lot of potential, and resources, but the country has been hijacked by a small group of Soviet officials who brainwashed the vast majority of the Russian population. Alcoholism and drug abuse are rampant. Russian society is regressing, intelligent people are leaving in droves. Russia is rapidly transforming into the Soviet Union. And we all know what resulted from that social experiment.
I think this war with Ukraine will lead to the fall of the current Russian government, complete demilitarization of its nuclear arsenal, and
potentially a territorial breakup of the Far East and Caucasus regions. Think end of Cold War 2.0.
Ukraine will get all its territories back. Not tomorrow, not next month, but eventually.
First of all, No matter how autocratic any regime is, diplomacy is always the way out to solve any issue. Secondly, I don't feel a bit the same about the Russian people, Russia is a growing country, it has many geographical challenges, and too cold inhabitable areas & vast territory are just to name a few. Drug Abuse death rate in Russia is lesser than the United States( unless you feel US is devastated by Druge abuse too). Thirdly, talking about political leaders brainwashing a certain set of population, this is a technique followed all around the world China, India, Trump Regime to name a few.
Talking about the post-war scenario, it's not at all possible to defeat a country today using military strength if that country possesses a nuclear arsenal, even if the government somehow internally falls, there is no way a country would give up it's nuclear arsenal, the new regime would always want to keep this option with them in case of an external conflict. So all this is really a hypothetical scenario, the worst thing that would happen to Russia is that they might bitter their relations with the West in the future but until they have China in their support, I doubt west will do anything about it.
