Ukraine has had time to give more than 2 weeks training to replacements.

If they want help they Western help they need to get serious about their own army.

I agree.

I’m just not sure how many more able-bodied, willing, fighting-age males they have left. Their forces are getting ground into dust daily via Russian artillery.

My understanding was that a good number of their military were/are mercenaries. Not sure what the difficulty might be (might have been) in recruiting home-grown troops.

They could put 200,000 SEALS in there, and they’d be slaughtered. The Russians have 10:1 artillery superiority. The New York Times is covering for Biden earning the money Putin paid Hunter through Burisma by throttling any useful aid to Ukraine. The headline number is $40b - 90+% of which isn’t military equipment. The actual equipment delivered is 100+ artillery units and ammo over the past 4 months. During the Yom Kippur War, the US *flew* 136 late-model jet fighters to Israel in under 3 weeks.

The liberal mantra is don’t blame Biden - blame Ukraine. Normally, I’d be fair-minded and look at both parties. However, given Biden’s mountain of screw-ups so far - and it’s not even 2 years yet - there is no reason to blame anyone but him.

And then there’s the cash Putin handed to Hunter, with the implicit promise of more to come. Best investment Putin ever made, and then some.

For many years now, the young in Ukraine wanted Ukraine to join the EU, not for prosperity in Ukraine but so they could get their EU work card and leave for better opportunities.

Who would risk their life for the Democrat dumps of Portland, Seattle, New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, etc.?
