Claims made by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States is intentionally prolonging the Russia-Ukraine conflict may not be as implausible...
Sean Spoonts, a U.S. Navy veteran and editor-in-chief of Special Operations Forces Report (SOFREP), told Newsweek that President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky seem to have separate policy goals in mind.
"It seems like while Ukraine would like to end the war quickly and decisively defeat Russian forces and drive them out of their country, U.S. policy almost seems designed to prolong the conflict hoping to bring about the collapse of Russia itself, both militarily and economically," Spoonts said...
Spoonts alluded to Biden's remarks on that day, when he said, "Some of the most powerful impacts of our actions will come over time as we squeeze Russia's access to finance and technology for strategic sectors of its economy and degrade its industrial capacity for years to come."
"Biden has said publicly that his goal is to degrade Russia as a world power, never again in the position to threaten its neighbors," said Spoonts. "That goes a lot further than Zelensky's goal, which is to simply get Russian armies out of his country and regain lost territories in Donbas, Luhansk and Crimea."
Ukrainian forces have deterred many Russian attacks over the past six months and impacted Russian troops in meaningful ways, resulting in what U.S. officials have cited as at least 75,000 Russian troops either killed or injured since the war's start.
Meanwhile, Russian land and sea artillery have taken massive losses. As Putin has touted his country's so-called advanced weaponry, outsiders have stated that the "sophisticated systems and weapons that Ukraine has access to" are currently dwarfing the impact of Russia's own weapons.

This is an opportunity to destroy Russia's conventional military capability in detail, and impoverish its economy, so they can not afford to rebuild it, while Putin still lives.
Putin started this unnecessary war, he can end it any time he wants by getting Russian invaders out of Ukraine
it only goes on because warmongering Putin wants it to
Putting started the war. He can end it whenever he wants.
Think again. It was Biden who caused the war
There was no war before Putin’s troops invaded on Feb. 23
Putin is the only warmonger responsible for this war
Neocons of the Uniparty steadily urging Ukraine to fight to the last man, that there is no negotiated peace, and gaslighting.
Ukraine’s conventional military capabilities are steadily being defeated in detail. The Ukraine economy is already impoverished and cannot afford to rebuild it. And ZelenskyyIdiot has avoided 10+ internal assassination attempts. Putin has over 80% of his main forces held in reserve and no doubt are awaiting the West/NATO is false flag its way into the conflict. Bet.
Neocons, especially those that inhabit FR, should rejoice....while preparing your children/grandchildren or yourselves to go die for NOTHING!
Don’t forget that the American military-industrial complex likes their profits, and Biden and the Congress critters like their kickbacks . . . depends on your angle.
I have no desire to hurt or destroy Russia.
Nor should the US be involved. Let Europe handle and pay for it *all*
The HomoGlobalists, yes. Destroy them. Take away their corrupt, money-laundering, Open Society, biolab haven.
Those who seek to enslave the world, are our major threat. Hang them high.
In fact, the HomoGlobalists pushed the Covid/vaxx scare, as you did Beau.
If Russia destroys them, great!
Trump contained Russia for 4 years and could do it again.
“Putin has over 80% of his main forces held in reserve”
That is very far from the truth.
Canadian Communist trash opens his yap, out pours Sorosbot propaganda.
Go tend to your own Communist country. Leave mine alone. We don’t want WW3.
LOL you’re hallucinating
Russia’s advance has stalled less than 100 miles from their border, they’re taking hits in Crimea, they’re afraid to fly over Ukraine and running out of missiles, and reduced to cannibalizing jets to keep their domestic flights going
NATO doesn’t need to enter, Ukraine is handling Russia just fine
Prove it wrong, sport.
Mirror in your house or basement.
Check and see that you yourself might be the one hallucinating.
kkthx
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
Biden gave approval to Putin to invade Ukraine, and maybe encouraged him. Obama, as well. But Putin still decided to invade. At the end of the day, it’s his responsibility.
In case the drugs you taking are messing with your head, the Ukrainians are being ass-whooped.
While the kinetic war drags on, Mother Russia is withering away.
Russia is degenerating into a third world country
