Because Russia is still dangerous that is why. A massive defeat will change their attitude. We are still arming Nato as we should or do you think we should stop arming Nato since Russia is no longer a threat, which is what they are. They are the only serious threat except possibly China. They have large stock piles of nuclear weapons and that is another issue.
Listen to this interview—you have a lot to unlearn:

“So, effectively, everything Bush, Obama and now Biden have done has damaged the US’ reputation and now irrevocably.”
Yes!
Ukraine will join the other horrific, bumbling boondoggles...
-Vietnam
-Iraq
-Afghanistan
-Libya
-Syria
However, this time the boondoggle will cause the beginning of a global shift away from our being the largest and strongest country on the planet. We will now begin to share that role with other countries and/or a group of other countries.
So sad. Great leaders, we have there.
Russia is going to neutralize Ukraine and control the southern coast.
You need to start preparing yourself.
The real world is not going to bend itself to your wishes.
“If pajama clad Vietcong ran the mighty superpower USA out of Vietnam, with Americans escaping from roof tops in helicopters, why is this a surprise?”
You have no idea what you are talking about. The VC ceased to exist as an effective fighting force in 1968, as they were clobbered during the Tet Offensive. The VC never recovered from that, and were pretty much out of the war afterwards.
Well done article

Time to bring out the oldies but goodies from Kazan:
Close to TWO MONTHS AGO:
“4/5/2022, 11:13:42 PM · 35 of 79
Kazan to MinorityRepublican
.....and have 60,000 to 80,000
Ukrainian troops trapped in eastern Ukraine.”
Trapped? Two Months ago? LOL!
And heres another almost two months ago:
4/2/2022, 6:27:44 PM · 89 of 90
Kazan to Salohcin
Encircled and about to die if they don’t surrender in eastern Ukraine. That you don’t know that means you nothing about what is actually other than propaganda you’re getting.
It’s likely all going down next week.
Next week is now two months....no surrender yet...
LoL! Who is reading the propaganda?
During my long since past days on active duty, the Soviets had a saying in response to the much discussed superiority of NATO arms:
“Quantity has a quality all its own.”
When you have run out of everything and the enemy hasn’t, the fact that their bullet launchers are now Moisin bolt action rifles taken out of mothballs isn’t going to make their victory any less significant.
Kissinger’s counsel at the WEF in Davos was perhaps a little too much “Real Politik” for the West to stomach.
Ukraine has to fight to retain as much of its territory as possible in the face of Russian aggression. As long as Russia is effectively a dictatorship under Putin (or someone cut from the same cloth once he’s gone), its government is going to mobilize, train, equip, deploy , and expend forces in a war of attrition until it achieves enough to claim vindication - especially in the face of combat losses, continuing sanctions, the expansion of NATO in previously neutral Scandinavia, etc.
So it comes back full circle: there will be war until someone runs out of the means to fight (Ukraine) or the will to fight (Russia).
With NATO and other western countries backing Ukraine, let’s hope it doesn’t follow another old Cold War era saying:
“NATO (Europe) will fight the Warsaw Pact (Soviets) to the very last American.” except it will be:
“NATO will fight the Russians in Ukraine until the very last Ukrainian.”
Possibly there is some narrow set of conditions for a settlement that allows peace to be reestablished without them also being so bitter that they plant the seeds of a new war.
You would think so. But you would be wrong.
Please show this to Wade.
LONG VIDEO OF DPR TROOPS PUSHING INTO AVDIIVKA SUBURBS
[Dear warriors under the age of 60 or so. This is modern warfare where your enemies, big surprise, are not illiterate 7th-Century tribesman in sandals with an AK and 3 mags. This is warfare vs an enemy who also has drones, artillery, and is competing for the air space. Note the use of ground fog>> “Thank you God!” Note the use of flimsy overhead cover (garage shade) to hide from enemy drones. Note the use of a quad-rotor drone to get a tactical advantage. Note things I missed. LEARN! Do you think CW3 vs our new communist overlords and their woke minions will be any easier?]
WATCH AND LEARN.

My first thoughts exactly. Are the reports regarding reactivating old T-62 tanks false and if not what does that indicate about Russian reserves. Not a very good indicator for the Russians if true. Secondly with over 40M people, Ukraine should be able to train and field more soldiers regularly. How many more able bodied men turn 17 this year?
“During my long since past days on active duty, the Soviets had a saying in response to the much discussed superiority of NATO arms: “Quantity has a quality all its own.””
That comment originated with Stalin. It became gospel with the Soviets.
Hope you’re right.
Yes Russia appears to be good at losing soldiers. But the difference this time is the Internet. That news is getting back and many aren’t agreeing to go to war. Apparently without a formal declaration of war only those that agree to go are being sent. Some agreed before the war (meaning they signed contracts to do whatever). Now many are refusing.
I remember reading about that conflict. But I don't recall the outcome. When I last read about it...it was a back and forth from what I recall.
Ukraine has mind-boggling logistical problems.
Fuel.
Food.
Training.
Roads under their control.
The list is a lot longer than that.
Western propaganda cannot fix this.
