The conclusion of the article was "breaking Russia’s offensive capabilities by providing Kyiv with the tools to do so (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery, air defence) would be the cheaper solution.”" (as compared to an economic war through sanctions).

The gist seems to be that a new Cold War between the West and Russia is solidifying, and that Russia will be excluded from the West. The West collectively seems to be committed to bleeding Russia in Ukraine, and economically, for the time being

The West collectively are committed to making sure Ukraine is ground to dust as their proxy in fighting Russia.

A further “recovery summit”, dedicated to the reconstruction of Ukraine

Great, more U.S. tax dollars spent everywhere but on a border wall, or energy infrastructure or more police

The proposals from the US to cut the price of Russian oil,

Would this work like Biden's proposal to cut the price of U.S. oil?

It’s all about the slush, baby.

“Western” taxpayer money is being sent to the Ukraine to be kicked back to the “western” politicians.

“Russia will be excluded from the West”

Russia chose to exclude herself. She had the chance to heal that divide, and chose to go the opposite route.

“Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the Ukrainian president, gave an inventory of Ukraine’s needs: 1,000 155mm-calibre howitzers”

That is more than the entire US Army and Marine Corps owns. Who is this wish list dictating tool?

“...Biden promised another $800m in defence assistance in the next few days,...”

more and more for Ukraine and Europe as he seeks the complete ruination of the USA.

“On finance, Ukraine is gobbling up an extraordinary $5bn a month as its economy and exports degrade, but the US is prepared to underwrite this. Biden promised another $800m in defence assistance in the next few days”

This is just insane, very few Americans on either the left or the right would approve of this. Who exactly is calling the shots? Whoever it is obviously doesn’t give a damn about what the people think.

It seems like 1918 except the “West” is not a thing it used to be anymore.
