Very good post - but one which is only applicable to the Ukraine war, if the intention of Putin & Co. is to win the war, in any sense of the word.

I believe, however, that Putin invaded Ukraine because the Ukraine war provided the absolutely essential pretext for the globalist cabal to drive energy prices in (particularly) Europe through the roof in order to sabotage European and Western economies and industries, and to make the cabal's BS 'green' alternatives look cost-competitive,

If I am right, then everything that Putin has done in Ukraine - an invasion with a totally inadequate military force, followed by endless messing around, and providing Ukraine with some 'victories' that can be trumpeted by Western media to try to maintain the willingness of (particularly) European populations to sabotage their own living standards for the bankrupt, massively corrupt failed State of Ukraine - then if that is the purpose of the Ukraine invasion, then everything that Putin & Co. have done in Ukraine makes perfect sense.

If I am wrong, and Putin & Co. actually do want to 'win' the Ukraine war, then precision missiles would be far better used against political objectives - e.g., to kill as many of the Kiev leadership clique as possible, along with NATO command and control centres and non-Ukrainian troops within Ukraine are based.

Since a large part of the properly trained Ukrainian army are now dead or wounded, and the effective military forces fighting Russia in Ukraine are in substantial part non-Ukrainian (i.e., NATO), they are the ones who Russia should be hammering, to make their casualties so heavy that their enthusiasm for fighting within Ukraine will be badly damaged.

Do not fully agree. A significant amount of money for the war is coming from the Ukr military budget, which is also based on the Ukr economy. Weakening the economy decreases the amount for the military, unless the West steps up. But that in turn means increasing the costs for the West.

Of course it also forces more people to move out of Ukraine, which further weakens the country.

Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam were not cases of rapid depopulation, unlike Ukraine.

It also increases the Western costs of paying salaries as the Ukr economy tanks further so the west needs to step up further. So the air campaign is certainly necessary (for Russia).

So i would say the idea of creating a black hole Ukraine sucking up resources is not bad.
