Russia Is Too Small to Win
Russia's economy is one-tenth the size of the European Union's, and its military budget is just 8% of America's. That is not nearly enough to win a war against a country that is fighting Russian forces tooth and nail, let alone to occupy that country – and face a determined insurgency – for an indefinite period.

In fact, there is good reason to think that, in the end, Russia will lose the war Putin has unleashed.
