When will the Ukraine war end? Koon Yew Yin

Happy New Year to you. I wish all my readers’ dreams will come true.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 Feb 2022, NATO and US have been helping Ukraine with military weapons and finance to fight Russia. After 10 months, Russia has used up almost all its weapons and starting to use drones from Iran recently.

A truck can carry few drones to launch at any place to avoid detection. Recently Russia has been using Iranian drones to damage electricity stations and power lines in many towns and cities in Ukraine. A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicles use GPS (the Global Positioning System), they can be programmed and maneuvered accurately to precise locations. Unlike traditional airplanes, it can loiter above a target for hours, waiting for the ideal moment to strike and thus reducing the odds that civilians will be caught in the kill zone.

More than 300 localities in five Ukrainian regions are still without power, the country’s emergencies service reported "As many as 301 settlements in the Kiev, the Sumy, the Ternopol and the Khmelnitsky regions remain cut off from the electricity supply," the service said in a statement on its Telegram channel.

More than 7 million people are without electricity

The deputy head of the Ukrainian Presidential Office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, says that more than seven million Ukrainians are without electricity as a result of the barrage of drone/missile attacks. He also said that 15 facilities of Ukraine's energy infrastructure had been damaged.

Water supply needs electricity. That is why many regions in Ukraine have no water supply.

All the Western media give us the impression that Ukraine can win the war. I have my doubt. The longer the war is prolonged, more people will die and more properties will be damaged. USA is using the Ukraine to weaken Russia.

As an outsider, a Malaysian, I think the war will end soon. It is hard to believe Ukrainians can go through the winter without electricity and water despite their patriotisms. If you wish to know more about Iranian drones, you can continue reading.

Iran stands today as a formidable drone power despite the strictures of a UN arms embargo. Iran has invested heavily in domestic drone manufacturing and benefitted from accessible technological advances in the commercial drone market. This has enabled the country to acquire an arsenal of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems which have wreaked havoc around the Middle East.

Iran has used drones to harass the US naval presence around the Persian Gulf, augment its influence in Syria and Iraq, and attack or threaten the critical infrastructure of US allies in the region.

Iran’s conventional air power has been rendered virtually obsolete due to financial impacts and procurement issues caused by sanctions. Investing in UAV technologies and production is therefore a strategic priority for regime leaders, giving Tehran an alternate means for long-range airstrikes.

Drones are particularly advantageous as they are cheaper to build and maintain than manned combat aircraft and can have longer flight endurance, greater maneuverability, and lower observability.

The dangers posed by Iran’s UAV program are amplified by Tehran sharing its advancements with its regional proxies, effectively gifting them with an instant air force. Iran-backed terrorist militias like Hezbollah and the Houthis boast the most active and sophisticated UAV programs among non-state actors, thanks to Iran’s success in smuggling drones and components to them as well as training them on their manufacture and operation.

unfortunately , Biden has the final say on when the war will end. Biden invited Zelensky to the White House two weeks ago and promise to provide weapons . this war will drag on.

The single strike from Ukraine has caused the casualty as high as 89...and the pressure in Russia in escalating that might lead the world into the "end of the world" mode without us realising.

Russia, like a wounded animal, may release a nuclear bomb, not necessarily like what USA did to nagasaki & Hiroshima but a kind of local nuclear bomb that erase 10,000 population or so which will trigger the world war as expected.

The US and NATO will come in and the other side such as China, North Korea, Iran... may be forced to get involved.

The oil price will go up, share markets will crash, short of food...

Putin may put his ego on the ground and decided to teach a lesson for Ukraine.

THE western media may be biased.

Don't think that China will even wanted to invade/attack Taiwan.

Esau and Jacob are the children of Rebecca.

Esau is the outdoor guy. He liked hunting/muscles/killing/arrows/weapons...whereas Jacob is an indoor guy who like learning and good is wisdom and closer to God.

The children of Esau are the Edom, Greeks, Romans (Roman Empire left with the Roman Catholic)...today they in the royal families in Sweden, Denmark, England, a lot in the USA...fighters).

The children of Jacob even in today's world, they are more to using brains/wisdom/inventors/IT genius and their muscular/heavy jobs are somebody's task to take care.

So, the descendants of Esau always wanted to fight.

So, Olympics...sports, high jump, foot ball/kicking a piece of leather, cross country run...
The emperor put the people into stadiums so the citizens should have no time to think of even overthrowing the wicked kings.

If God wanted us to running around chasing a piece of leather or jumping and running like a horse, then God must have made us a horse or monkey. Is a lie and biggest scam.

In Italy, where are the Roman Empire/Romans? Only left the stadium/coliseum...and Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee were there kicking for a while. Who are still there? The children of Jacob are still there.

The Greek, Babylonians, Persians, Romans and Ottomani are all gone as well.

BUT Jacob went to Egypt and he had to because there famine...and Joseph was already there and cast out a place his father to live, with the approval of Pharaoh, Goshen.

After the costly football stadiums being used for a while, the Arabs will use it for camel racing?
Wastage.

Many workers were killed during the construction jobs. Some are killed during the football games. Sports, muscles, running, chasing, pushing, lickings...aiyah.
