Yeah, I think so as well. The west is all off a sudden discovering there are nazis in Ukraine, and that there’s busification, and now Syrsky has been dismissed. I can’t imagine this is business as usual. There might also be panic that Russia will take over Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, and Odessa too. So, they might be thinking of trying to wind the war down before that happens. But I can also see Europe doubling down and actually joining in too.
This just means that Iran’s fucking them up. I don’t think that much has changed in Ukraine. It’s the same attrition warfare that Russia is performing and that the West has no real answer no matter how much they cope about “human waves.” But now that Iran is blowing up US bases, they have to cut their loses, and faced between dropping “little Israel” (per Zelensky’s characterization of Ukraine as the next Israel) and the real Israel, guess which “Israel” is going to be dropped like a sack of shit?
I’m sure Iran is accelerating the problems, but wars of attrition tend to look static for a long time and then once the collapse happens things tend to accelerate rapidly. A similar thing happened during WW2 when the Soviet army marched on Berlin in a matter of months once the German fighting capacity was broken. We shouldn’t expect that Ukraine is just going to keep simmering at the same tempo indefinitely.
