The war in Ukraine is based on lies — lies about how it started, how it’s going, and how it will end.
We are told that Ukraine is winning when in fact it is losing. We are told that the war makes NATO stronger when in fact it is depleting it. We are told that Ukraine’s biggest problem is a lack of funds from the U.S. Congress when in fact the West can’t produce enough ammunition — a problem that will take years to fix. We are told that Russia is suffering greater casualties when in fact Ukraine is running out of soldiers — another problem money can’t fix.

What if Russia invaded Ukraine to deplete our resources and wreck our political institutions?
I think the Russians invaded for the reasons they stated. If the new president of Mexico, a Putin installed stooge, was in the process of making Mexico the 30th Warsaw Pact nation, we might have a war on the Rio Grande in response. Exposing NATO as a woke paper tiger is just a bonus to them.
Another in your ongoing war of them.
Whether or not that was the intent or and unintended benefit, it's the result. Ukraine is a black hole that sucks our fortune and gear in large quantities.
If I were Putin, I would keep the status quo - just sit on my newly expanded border and watch the west destroy itself.
Pretty weak.
They might drop you from payroll.
Okay 🤡.
