The entire world will collapse into a doom and gloom cycle when ukraine loses.

The Ukraine war is a war in Europe that affects Europeans.

Not until all (all) affected European countries choose to support Ukraine, all in, 100%, should we consider sending another farthing's worth of "assistance".

What you should be worried about is Belarus.

Putin could never subdue all of Ukraine, but he could easily roll troops right up to the Polish border via Belarus.

And Lukashenko and Putin are not the friends that people may think they are. The fact is, Lukashenko may be the only reason the Russians haven’t moved in and annexed Belarus. If he goes, and the situation devolves into chaos, then the Russians move in.

War pigs gotta oink.

[desertsolitaire]

There’s that view.
But it would be wise to consider all angles here.
I’m not a fan of continuing Biden’s handlers status quo.
I also think there’s two sides to this conflict and corruption aplenty to go around.
What’s the best quickest way to end the fighting and draw up a lasting armistice line?

Analysis conducted at the American Enterprise Institute has determined that Russia defeating Ukraine would cost American taxpayers an additional $808 billion over what the U.S. has planned to spend on defense in the next five years. This is about seven times more than all the aid appropriated to the Pentagon to help Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion.

LOL. Their last, desperate propaganda ploy. "Experts have calculated the costs....."

[Uncle Miltie]

They’d fold like a cheap suit.

[dljordan]

I want an audit.

[blackdog]

Finally, a question that works!

"When did you stop killing Ukraine?"

[pacific_waters]

She’s telling you simple facts. “If Ukraine is allowed to fall, Washington will need a military that is larger, more capable, more responsive, and positioned in more locations” We would have to return to the troop deployment of the height of the Cold War.

Elaine’s portfolio says - ‘More war, please!’

What if the US were to stop supporting Ukraine? Russia wins

What if the US were to stop supporting Taiwan? China wins

More wars start with no end in sight.

Ukraine lost as soon as Biden said that the US will invoke sanctions only after Russia invades Ukraine. That was a green light to Putin. After all Biden was lifting sanctions on Iran at the same time. Way to go Joe.

Jeez, that must mean if we spend another TRILLION DOLLARS on UKRAINE, WE’LL SAVE ABOUT SEVEN TRILLION over five years.

Yes, that’s the kind of “logic” that the NEOCONS AND GLOBALISTS have been reduced to. Why don’t they, for clarity, simply say “GIBS ME MO’ WAR!”?

Without military aid from the United States, they’ll end quickly.

So what will be your choice of languages to learn - Russian, Chinese, maybe both?

[PIF]

Oh I see from your past responses, you will be learning Russian - if you already don’t speak it.
