    Anyone in his position would have “aggressive instincts” by now. If someone punched you in the face would you have aggressive instincts?

    If he were screaming about wanting to bomb Moscow it would be understandable.

    None of it is going to happen anyway. Ukraine will be lucky to get Russia to the bargaining table and get something close to a return to 2020 borders. It might take something extreme to win that, like threatening attacks inside Russia. Otherwise Russia will just keep sending warm bodies into the meat grinder until they either win or collapse. They could drag it on for a decade.

    Russia still could win by just grinding their opponents down. They don’t seem to care how many they lose in the process. Just keep grinding until the West loses the will to keep helping Ukraine or Ukraine loses the will to resist.
