Some troops from friendly countries would die and that would make people sad, emotional and likely to want to put a stop to aid. Western people have gotten used to extremely easy life and are fickle like that.
Ukraine can gather enough troops on their own if only they’d have enough weapons and ammo. They won’t win against the much larger Russia in grindhouse competition, but they have shown themselves capable of using better weapons to cause asymetrical damage.
That sounds comment straight from the WEF forum.
Western people? Where do you live? In Ukraine?
I wonder at the stupidity of the West in not mass producing drones better than the Iranian and Chines ones Russia is using and flooding the Ukes with more than they can use and use constantly. Anti tank, anti personnel, set fuel depots ablaze, etc.
And the means to strike deep within Russia itself. Take out the (2?) main oil pipelines that Russia uses to ship oil to the East for tankers and sales. Deny them the means to fund the invasion.
