But, Sir, Stalemate?
-90,000 sq miles of New Russia - some of the most fertile farmland in the world. Florida is 70,000 sq miles
-Crimea still firmly in Russian hands.
-4 million new Russians.
-Russia soundly defeated Ukraine in the 3 largest battles - Mariupol, Bakhmut, Avdeevka.
-Ukraine military is in tatters. Every one admits they are low in ammo and men.
-Russia has decimated the largest and strongest military in Europe.
If thats a stalemate, the we need a new definition.
