What makes you think their gonna start now after it’s been going for more than two years and there even having trouble conscripting in western Ukraine ?
If they’ve ran out of volunteers in the more nationalist west how are they going to find them in the occupied territories where patriotism to Ukraine has always been lower?
Because you have to be occupied before you can do guerilla resistance? Also because guerilla activities require fewer personnel than an armed mobilization?
If Ukraine fell to invasion, as in like their lines collapse and they lose the territory they’re currently holding, now every Ukrainian who might consider fighting is already behind enemy lines. Instead of being concentrated physically and very obviously defending themselves you’d have a very pissed off post-invasion population able to act inside of occupied territory. Look at the resistance fighters in occupied France in WWII. Putin isn’t going to have an easy time even if he manages to push an invasion force through.
Good luck holding a country that fights as hard as Ukraine.
That isnt really relevant because Russia would get what they are looking for in the end no matter how much of a resistance there is. All they need to do is finish off their army, and not allow a new government to form and they have achieved their goal.
Ukraine is going to lose with aid, all giving them more money does is allow them to not negotiate for longer.
If you think Ukraine won’t muster a guerilla resistance fierce enough to make France blush you haven’t been paying attention.

It’s not like Russia haven’t dealt with those before…
Russia has controlled Crimea for a decade. Where’s that resistance?

Negotiate what? If they would consent to their genocide?
Sure thing!
I’m going to claim my neighbor’s pool as mine, and when they call the cops I’ll blame them for not being willing to negotiate.
False comparison.
Short answer.
It was, I cant really say much about an unrelated hypothetical.
Except that it’s a false comparison with zero explanation. Just enough text to know I should dismiss your opinion.
Good job.
Thank you!
