>>509351663 (OP)Here's the thing. No one really knows. No one except the very highest military and political officials have any idea about the actual state of the situation. Even then history is full of examples where even the top dogs got it wrong.
All the commentators, all the media, all the analysts, all the armchair generals. All they do is make guesses with imperfect information full of gaps.
One side could collapse tomorrow, with a coup mutiny, revolution, or a complete military breakdown. Or it could drag on for years more until some peace settlement is reached.
