Uncomfy but absolutely true: if the conflict far away (preferably with a Muslim population), it's all right and we don't care (as much).

The genocide of Uyhurs in China and the laughable reaction by the west illustrates that point too. It was called whataboutism by @Daveysgingerlovechild when I brought it up some months ago. A million people...

Read what those weasels at Arsenal had to say when Ozil said something:

The Western reaction to the war in Ukraine : Principles or realpolitik? If it was principled we wouldnt have a WC football in Qatar/do business with the Saoudi's...
Uh? What you gimping about now you tool?
 

Like night follows day, we're hearing from NATO that this war may take years. Here comes the commitment to ensure Russia do not achieve their goals...

... or at least NATO do achieve theirs - Russia unable to cement its position alongside a heavily impacted economy, military and political regime.

Unless Russia can get a large offensive moving, most people even with a wee bit of of experience and/or knowledge of history will foresee how it'll likely pan out.

The temperature will drop around late October and November to below freezing, the rain will not relent and the Russian conscripts and their moral will suffer.

Obviously it won't be particularly nice for the UA either, but (a big but) I suspect they'll hold. This war will bog down and it'll allow the Ukrainians to rearm.

Unless there's a drastic change, I can't see this war being finished until late 2023 or even 2024, which will end up in a political compromise.

Be very cold in Europe without all that warm gas and the cost of living is about to rocket. Over before end of summer makes life easier for everyone.

Of course it would, but I suspect the article is about making it clear (well, drip feeding the idea) that unless there's a drastic change this won't end soon.

The winter is going to be very difficult for many, many people across Europe although ultimately it's going to be very difficult for Russia too. So who breaks first?

Trillion dollar question.
