You've got it backwards. Ukraine is Russia's Iraq or Afghanistan, except far more bloodthirsty/costly. Those are Russian troops and Russian formations bleeding out in Ukraine, not American. And their cost is far higher than what we're paying to oppose them.
The only reason Ukraine is still in this, is the same reason Afghanistan didn’t become part of the Soviet Union.
The United States of America.
As for Russia’s cost in relation to ours.....WHO THE F**K CARES?
The US has its own problems. Based on numbers I saw on CNN, sadly, over 4,000,000 people have come across the border...that we know about. Probably the same that we don’t. And these are bad people.
Have you given any thought to what happens at the end of the month when Title 42 is over? What happens then? What happens when US hospitals are overrun with the 3rd world that is sick and dying?
But...Russia Bad...Ukraine Good. Ukraine need help
You do know that Ukraine has a battalion of foreign fighters. You can enlist and really help the fight it you want.
