Should Russia Go Slow Until Summer 2024?

There must be many Russians who would like to see their forces finish off the Ukrainians quicker.  I too used to think it was a mistake to fight the war the way they have: small operations at the line of contact.  Why are they trying to reproduce the Western Front of World War I?

But if the Russians finish off the Ukrainian regime in 2023, the war will be old news during the presidential election in late 2024.  That means it will be ignored.  I would prefer to see a military debacle in Ukraine come crashing down on the Biden regime's head during the presidential election.

If that happens, it might have an effect greater than just finishing off Biden.  It might affect Washington's vassal states in Europe or least the current leadership there.  The ultimate success would be to see the neo-con cabal in Washington lose its power and influence.  The end of the Victoria Nuland era can't come soon enough.

I think the Russians have done, and are doing, what they set out to do. The media wants Shock N Awe and reality TV so they have been disappointed and have claimed Russia is loosing because they have not fought the 'war' the way in which the media wants.

"Fighting a war is actually pretty simple in concept. Execution—that’s where it gets complicated, but the concept itself is really, really simple. You never want to fight fair. You want to always—always—have the advantage. Most battles are won or lost long before someone fires the first shot. It’s all about setting the stage for the battle, maneuvering yourself and your forces into the most advantageous position while simultaneously maneuvering your enemy into the least advantageous position.
We call that 'shaping the battlefield.' You look for where and when you have the edge, and then you make the enemy fight you there and then."

It doesn't matter how bad things get in any way. There will never be another Republican President. The US is now a one ruling party nation with minor opposition in certain states. Voting in presidential elections is just for show.
