I respect your position. Since the people wo run Biden seem hell bent on forever financing this, do you think we should allow the Ukes to inevitablt fail here, wasting all of the money spent on them? Or find a way to add boots on the ground to the Ukes? Or, thirdly, add some weapon or tactic to the mix that changes the whole dynamic towards favoring the Ukes? I’m not sure what that would be or if it exists. It would also push us very close to thermonuclear war with Russia as well. Thoughts?
The ukies have lost.
I support them, but they did not sufficiently fund their own defense in times of peace. So, they will lose their country.
Russia is on a roll. They have a fresh 5,000,000 artillery rounds from the NORKS. There is not enough 155mm left in the world, or able to be produced to sufficiently supply the ukies. Russia can throw another 1,000,000 men into the meat grinder. Ukies are fielding the last of their 50 year olds.
This is going to be a Russia win. The best the ukies can hope for is a rump statelet under permanent threat of Russian takeover. If I were Putin, at this point I wouldn’t even give them that.
I hate this outcome. But that’s what I see. It’s strategically over, except a few hundred thousand more will die on the way to the inevitable Russian victory.
Which sucks.
Realistically, there is no option that sees Ukraine win without the boots on the ground from the US and other NATO countries. NONE!
Anyone that says different is a liar, or deluded.
The NEocons are determined to get us into this war full force and left to them, it will happen, if not stopped cold.
