If there were any way for both sides to lose I’d be in favor of that.

I said when this whole thing started that it was too bad they both couldn’t lose.
Now Trump is joining in and making it his war.

Both sides are losing big time.

It's obvious that the Ukraine is getting mauled but Russian troops are taking heavy losses as well

Russia has been devastated internationally.

Russia has had it's gas pipelines destroyed and it's lucrative EU gas concession cut way back. It must sell the bulk of it's oil and gas at cut rate prices to second and third tier customers or to China a bargain basement, distressed asset prices.

Russia has completely lost it's position and influence in the Middle East and it's Iranian client is on the ropes.

Nobody wants to buy Russian weapons because they are proving ineffective against next gen systems and Russia does not have any to sell because all production capacity is being used in the Ukraine.

The economic damage done by the war is going to set Russian economic development back a decade.

Putin's decision to invade Ukraine was one of the most ill advised military operations in modern times, especially since Biden was so weak Russia could have gotten over 90% of what they claim to want by using non military pressure. on Senile Joe

Amen.

No good guys in that neighborhood.

Why we burn your and my money on that well deserved mess is beyond me.

this is the best case scenario.

since ukraine will never win. we keep the war going, and weaken USSR, CHina, and NK at the same-time.

remember, president trump is at the helm, much better than if harris was there now isn’t it.
