Discussion of the Russia-Ukraine war in Washington is increasingly dominated by the question of how it might end. To inform this discussion, this Perspective identifies ways in which the war could evolve and how alternative trajectories would affect U.S. interests. The authors argue that, in addition to minimizing the risks of major escalation, U.S. interests would be best served by avoiding a protracted conflict. The costs and risks of a long war in Ukraine are significant and outweigh the possible benefits of such a trajectory for the United States.

Then you’re my enemy I guess?
You see you Ukraine kooks can’t just discuss Ukraine.
You’ve got a list a mile long of pure BS that includes:
WEF,Neocons, Biden, Globohomos, Klaus Schwab, Soros, Corruption, racism, woke military, southern border, ageism, government is our enemy....
On and on and on.
Now I’m your enemy.
Grow up.
Russia invaded Ukraine. It’s not good for America, Europe, the West. That’s reality. But all this other insane gobbledygook.
Wow a one year war but missile attacks yesterday ended it. Who knew?
One thing I’m certain of. Your knowledge of the actual war situation is exactly Dick.
In all sincerity I think anti American kooks like you should be thrown out, but not my call.
How much did you drink today kooky bird?
“No one is laughing us off the forum you stupid idiot.”
That’s kind of a problem for FR because you should be laughed out of here. You are offensive and a repetitive disgrace.
Drive on war cheerleader, keep drinking the western MSM whiskey, I do believe you are headed for one heck of a hangover…….of course,time will tell.
These people are anti American kooks.
In my lifetime only the most left wing Anti American jerks have ever said “The world must hate us for a reason”.
I’ve heard them say that as a justification for the 9/11 attacks.
These folks are vermin.
but but but
You said Ukraine was going away in 2022. What happened?
A lot of dead Russians happened.
You’re like globull warming. Pure hot air.
You don’t get to declare what’s “Anti-American” Wobbly Williams. You are a decrepit, shriveled, nasty old man living a fantasy, detached from reality.
It’s none of your business, but we might have a couple beers later while watching the game. If I think of it we might have a laugh at the expense of useless, deranged people like you.
You watch football, America hater?
Pearls before the swine.
I bet you’re at a soccer practice with the other divorced moms.
History rhymes!
It does - the same or similar causes create the same or similar effects over and over.
But in this case, its really just the same old, same old.
Americans have been getting hit by anti-Americanism continuously since there was a United States. At the same time the US exerted an irresistable draw to, sometimes, the same people.
Its an odd situation, but there we go. People are complicated, and not a lot bother to try to understand their own minds.
Have someone help you check your med cup. I think you forgot take something.
Because I am, at least in part, an old Jesuit boy. And like St. Francis Xavier, we learned we should never give up preaching to the pagans and heretics.
I do suggest a bit of an education in the “big picture” of the world. It does require removing mental blinders, though it can upset certain horses.
See you’re not watching the game.
What time is Bigram yoga?
“Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP , the quicker the better.”
This is odd, actually. Why?
Well, we Euros rather like “soccer” - football to us.
It was my sport when I was young and looked much more like Antonio Banderas than I do now.
I had to deliberately learn American football, using the John Madden computer game.
“In my lifetime only the most left wing Anti American jerks have ever said “The world must hate us for a reason”.
In our lifetimes, this is true. This was because of the existence of the great global ideological conflict. The religious wars of our time.
Before that anti-Americanism was a more general matter. Old conservative societies hated being disrupted by crass merchants and peasants, and the US was THE nation of merchants and peasants.
This side of anti-Americanism was however reborn, in the US itself. See Angelo Codevilla.
