I believe the truth will lie in the middle - Boris didn't 'tank' or 'sabotage', but there is wider interest from the US/EU/UK in the war continuing. US's and Victoria Nuland's involvement in Ukraine in Maidan is enough for me to question such.
Russia has targeted infrastructure obviously, as does any side in a war. Yes, Ukraine should be left alone to have its say on the EU - sadly that's not the case and never will be.
Nato question is a much bigger one that I haven't formed a clear opinion on. Nato expansion is a thing. Ukraine joining Nato wouldn't be a step toward peace.

Nothing supports this idea at all.In 1994 Russia and Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, part of the returning of USSR Nuclear weapons to Russia was that Russia ( and the US/UK ) would gurantee Ukraines borders. Russia broke that agreement in 2014 by invading Ukraine and annexing land
in 2014 the Minsk Agreements were signed. in 2022 Russia broke that agreement by invading Ukraine and trying to steal land.
What makes you think a 3rd attempt would work?
It depends who has the will to last the longest. In reality, if the west had the will to continue supporting an ally, we could bring Russia to it's knees. It's economy is on life support through a war time economy, this will keep it going for a couple of years but is not sustainable long term. It just isn't.How do people think this war will end? With a total victory for Ukraine? Events on the ground suggest that this is extremely unlikely. So the war goes on and Ukrainians continue to die in large numbers indefinitely? This is totally unsustainable. As some of us were arguing from the start.
So what's your proposal? Surrender to Russia, hand their entire nation over to Putin, granting him a staging point to the Balkans and other former Soviet occupied territories?How do people think this war will end? With a total victory for Ukraine? Events on the ground suggest that this is extremely unlikely. So the war goes on and Ukrainians continue to die in large numbers indefinitely? This is totally unsustainable. As some of us were arguing from the start.
The outcome of this war us not in Ukraines hand, it is wholly dependent on the rest of the world. Back Ukraine fully, then Putin will be defeated and forced to withdraw.How do people think this war will end? With a total victory for Ukraine?

Actually you were arguing quite stridently about Russian military superiority which Ukraine would be unable to resist, so less of the Mystic Meg Billy Big Bollocks.How do people think this war will end?

Hi mate, you seem to have overlooked my question:I believe the truth will lie in the middle - Boris didn't 'tank' or 'sabotage', but there is wider interest from the US/EU/UK in the war continuing. US's and Victoria Nuland's involvement in Ukraine in Maidan is enough for me to question such.
