Zelensky is begging for more weapons.
Putin is begging for someone to negotiate a peace deal.
A pretty clear indication of who still wants to be in this fight.
Putin is not begging for peace.
He has openly stated and continues to state, he is open to NEGOTIATIONS or NEGOTIATING a settlement, which any sane and rational leader would do unlike neo-Nazi influenced ZelenskyyIdiot who has said he will not negotiate till regime change in Russia.
Put the crackpipe down, kthx.
If Putin wants out, he knows where the door is.
It is very difficult for the west to resupply Ukraine since Russia probably monitors such things ship by ship, train by train, or plane by plane. Those border nations from Poland to Bulgaria aren’t keen on border problems of their own, I would imagine.
Then there is the issue of cash. Giving away war materiel to a non-paying customer is charitable, but it does get old eventually. I imagine that spigot will be turned off shortly, if control of congress changes hands. All the candidates I listen to are bad-mouthing the ukraine billions. They can’t just pretend they didn’t run on that if they do win. In other words, Ukraine’s poverty will soon come into play.
Finally, there is the issue of one man and one gun, like in Afghanistan. That can wreak terrible havoc, of course, as the Afghanis have proven time and again throughout history. If Ukrainians respond in such a manner, I’ll admit they might eventually hold their own. I’ll look for evidence of such a thing in the coming months. I don’t really know one way or another, and I don’t really know how to guess. The biggest question in my mind is whether the old ukrainian government was anti-gun and took them away from the people. If so, we know how “one man one gun” will turn out.
