the US is trying to preserve its #1 position in the world where everyone respects and fears them

if russia is allowed to annex those eastern parts of ukraine, the US will lose credibility

that's why walang peace talks -- hindi pwede sa US ang compromise -- kailangan mapalayas ang russia period

ang russia naman pag nabawi ng ukraine ang mga eastern territories... lalo pag nabawi pati crimea... putin is done... russia is done

putin will be deposed (or worse) and russia could be broken up

so para kay putin he can't lose this war (para sa kanya this war has become fight for his and russia's survival)

para sa US this war is about maintaining fear and respect (pag nagtagumpay ang russia sa pagsakop sa territoryo ng ukraine mawawalan ng takot at respeto ang buong mundo sa US)
Ano basis nito? They are a proud nation and hindi naman diverse yan politically. They may not win the war pero labo naman na madivide pa yan. Mas malaki pa chance na tumibay sila and transform into a better nation but still a Russian nation. Layo naman ng Russia as a country vis a vis USSR.
