Goose, based on everything you know, how does Ukraine win this war?  Is it even possible, and if so, how can it be done, with the resources they have, and know everything we know about the Russians?  

Is it possible that a very successful counter offensive by Ukraine, leads to massive Russian route?  Can Crimea be retaken before next winter, or is that a pipedream?   

What would happen if Ukraine captured the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, would the sham republics fall, leading to brobdingnagian military units surrendering, or would they just move their political capital further back?   

I just wonder how this will end in a total victory for Ukraine, without a drastic change in Western support....
