Anyone following the Ukraine debacle has never, even once, seen anything from its proponants resembling a plan or endgame. Nothing but reactions and responses, all of which have ended in failure.
They send F-16s despite the recipient not having the replacement parts, maintenance assets or even pilots capable of flying them. We send Bradleys, Mauders and M1s, that get destroyed by drones or smoked in railyards before ever seeing battle. Western pols media barely mentioned the multinational gaggle of NATO military and intel VIP "analysts" who were targeted and neutralized in a group planning meeting. All dead. We send heaps of borrowed cash, our children's money, only to see it evaporate or get embezzled by corrupt-o-crats now running out of the country.
Stomping one's feet demanding the evil Russians leave their new borders isn't a strategy. Shipping the latest stockpile of NATO gear and ammo - epecially when Ukraine military had always trained and centered around Soviet standard - is not a plan. Throwing budget busting piles of money, tech and gear at a problem worked, only at first, with Mideast sand-apes... until it didn't. It's not, however, an end game. It's demonstrable failure.
If our pro-war pols, neocons and clownass media took just a mintute away from their echo chamber, many Russian military higher ups and insiders have proclaimed the quiet part out loud - one componant of the Russian strategy, a side benefit, is draining the west of resources, wealth and gear.
It's working.
It's certainly not about any strategic vision or substantive plans for resolution. It's all about timing and politics. And they're more than willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to have their "pro-democracy" fig leaf.
LOL, old weapons are sent to Ukraine and result in one million Russian casualties and this is somehow a brilliant Russian strategy?
Western countries like Poland who sent Ukraine old tanks, is re-arming with modern tanks.
Poland Becomes a Defense Colossus
The country plans to double its land forces to 300,000. Huge purchases from abroad include 366 Abrams tanks and 96 Apache helicopters from the United States; 980 K2 tanks and 648 self-propelled howitzers from South Korea; hundreds of US HIMARS rocket launchers; many more Patriot air defense systems; 22 UK-made air defense batteries and three UK-designed frigates; as well as 48 South Korean FA-50 combat aircraft from and 32 US F-35 aircraft, complementing its existing fleet of 48 F-16s.
Meanwhile, it has made very significant arms transfers to Ukraine, including MiG-29 jets, modernized T-72 tanks, and Krab 155-mm self-propelled howitzers.

Who's shouldering the burden?
With “friends” like Europe, Ukraine doesn’t need enemies, but sure works hard to get ‘em!
