This will end when Russian casualties reaches a breaking point with the populace in Russia and sentiment turns against Putin.

Russia are just going to pummel them with drones by the looks of it. Did you see the pictures of their drone factories? They’re pumping them out for fun with assembly lines, etc. and what I saw they looked to be ramping up production.

This is why Ukraine need the missile defense from the US (it’s the best).

Is it an unreasonable request? I dont know but they should be honest about it and if Trump does it he needs to make sure nothing is lost to notorious corruption/grift

With a missile defense system it can be tightly controlled but please no more general “aid” because we all know what happens

You are thinking like a westerner.
George S. Patton expressed disdain for Russians, stating, “The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously.”
In WWII they sent unarmed men, shouting Hoorah!in waves against German machine guns.
>That’s racism
That’s racial realism.

That’s wishful thinking. Polls show Putin still has support of 85% of Russians. If anything the Russian people have become more supportive of the Ukraine war after Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s interior. Putin has framed this war as an existential attack by the West against Russia and most Russians have come to accept this.
