This war will drag on at least as long as Putin lives. Maybe even beyond his death. Putin can only live on by keeping the war running.

Can't remember who of you wrote some days ago. Russia has learned their lesson they have dug them self heavy guarded defence line or fortifications. However is this the case on the entire front. As time goes the Russian has time to fortify their defences and expand them. My guess on how this offensive will go The attack will be like an arrowhead thus punching a hole in the Russian defense line One thing I'm certain of-They(Ukrainian) will start the offensive with heavy bombardment and low flying attack with SU25 to pave way for the offensive. I could very well imagine Ukrainian does this where the offensive isn't gonna happen. I have a wildly imagination Markus

There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. If Putin dies, the power struggle will decide the outcome of this war it will come of its own accord, unengineered by anyone, born in the chaos of the Kremlin.

Thats why I think any hope to negotiate with him is completely illusory, pointless, misled. Of that I am 100% certain. If he does that and gives ground, his own minions will kill him. And he knows that. So... This implies that any offer by him to negotiate is just a trap, is deception, is not meant serious. This also means that Putin cannot have any interest at all to negotiate. It would mean he negotiates his own death. If he dies, by bullet or rope or poison or missile or cancer of whatever, the fight for power will break loose openly. And it is not certain at all that the successor of Putin will be any milder than Putin was. In fact his successor likely will be even worse. Putin's life is at stake, and that is what commands his political decisions.

No, I think you overestimate the stabilty of putins system. It has degraded, has lost stability over the war. I talk not of the people on the street, but the sharks in the pool putin himself also sits in.

Putin still controls the FSB and its security forces and army the rest are irrelevant political he has full control Wagner and the Chechen have lost the power struggle Putin has full control over the power triangle like Stalin created it. But this can all crumble we can not predict when or how we did not foresee the czar abdicated or the fail of the USSR all happened by surprise and suddenly.

The Ukrainians have 20k combat troops that just finished training in the UK a week or two ago. That's five more brigades right there.

FOCUS is a weekly magazine like Der Spiegel, centrist-left, but not as left as the Spiegel. A high profile publication over here, quite known, quite popular. Not my favourite (that would be the Swiss NZZ), but I regularly check it.

No-I don't think they make up stories as they go..It could be the info they get is not correct. In the beginning of the war he was suffering from some other disease(Can't remember-Maybe it was Cancer) In my mind though, there's no doubt that some Russian generals are thinking about taking out Putin in a coup. Due to the heavy loses in Ukraine. Markus
