Any counter-offensive to “liberate” Crimea would be foolish. But Russia has lost so badly that it already wants out of this war. We should get them out of it. Frankly, if anything, this makes me mad we wasted so much money building up our military during the Cold War, seeing the pathetic and disgraceful shape of the Russian military.
While Freepers debate the military strategy and tactics they are missing the big picture.
The military industrial complex is making a fortune on this war.
Everything else is a distraction.
What does that even mean? How does Russia "get out"? How does Ukraine "get out"?
The US is keeping the proxy war going by providing the lion's share of weapons and funds. We pay the salaries and pensions of the Ukrainian government, including the military. We have the leverage to force Ukraine to the negotiating table and end the senseless death and destruction. We could have prevented the second Russian invasion thru diplomacy. Instead we provoked it.
This war has been going on since 2014. Zelensky campaigned as the peace candidate. The longer it goes on the less support it will have from Europe and the US public. We can't continuing borrowing money to fund a proxy war that does not involve our strategic national interests. We are being led by fools.
