From a tactical standpoint Russia would have to expend millions of tanks to take Ukraine at the current rates. I used to think they would eventually muscle their way through but I am not sure they can. Even if they did what would be left?
Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union, and inherited a lot of the same gear the Russians are using. So a lot of this is like vs like. Add to that the Ukrainians don't want to go back under Moscow in a big way, and the Russians didn't intend on burning it to the ground, and you get what we see- war by attrition. And Russia is winning that attrition, they have the numbers to grind this out if they want to; and they seemingly want to.

All Ive heard from the soy boys is Russia was a paper tiger and their defeat was imminent.

They’re gonna need a lot of workers to replace the manpower lost during the war. We just happen to have a lot of “immigrants” who will need work. Let’s load up some C-130s and help Russia with their manpower needs.
Or we could send them to Ukraine, I don’t really care as long as they aren’t here.
