Stalemate, Setup, or Counter-Counterattack? The Weird Winter of the Russia-Ukraine War

Sign up for Ground News, and use the following link to let them know we sent you over there! https://ground.news/linesonmaps

Thus far, neither Ukraine nor Russia has made much progress during the winter. What is actually going on? This video surveys four possibilities. On one extreme, Ukraine may be trapping Russia into attacking at high losses with few gains. On the other extreme, Russia may be engaging in a true counter-counterattack, and Ukraine will soon be put on its backfoot. We may also just be observing winter or a true stalemate.
