Lindsey GrahamIdiot approves.
‘Senator Lindsey Graham wants to fund Ukraine until the “Last Ukrainian” is dead.’

eventually he’ll run out of other people’s money to gamble with
This sounds a lot like the Battle of the Bulge. Once it’s over, the war is essentially over.
Zalenskyy is a comedian, not a field marshal. His meddling is getting troops killed.
He is also responding to pressure from the Western nations to “do something”.
NATO will fight until the last Ukrainian.
“Ukrainian channel Legitimny reports Helensky is prepared to sacrifice up to 20K dead and 40k wounded in the Kherson offensive, which would be 6% of his army.”
“In principle, the options are:...ii) “ramp up critical shortfalls” by invoking Defense Production Act”
SERIOUSLY??? They haven’t even done that little? I figured that it was invoked on Feb 25, which is why I was never hearing about it.
Guess it never occurred to them, as they think Russia is losing due to only reading the NY Times.
They’re calling the area around Kherson a graveyard. Zelesnky’s battle cry is get back up and keep going regardless of the death toll - (over and over again) - which has been massive.
Nato wants to see land regained.
I’ve consistently said I don’t believe the propaganda coming out of either side in this war, eventually one side will give up and negotiate.
If Russia can’t be pushed out of Ukraine, which I don’t think Ukraine is capable of, I doubt Putin would be willing to negotiate anytime soon.
Given the sanctions that Western Countries have placed on Russia, he will likely force them to go thru the winter at the very least before negotiating and he might hold out until all sanctions are lifted by every Western Country before negotiating.
Who launches a major offensive that:
Was advertised for months?
No superiority in troops or tanks?
Greatly outnumbered in artillery?
Zero air support with an enemy that has air superiority?
With a hodgepodge of various donated equipment and barely trained troops?
Is Zelenski the same as Zelensky or Zelenskyy ?
Hard to get reliable information regarding this war. If however the Ukrainians were unable to take advantage of the unique opportunity of the “Kherson bridgehead”, then they really have no realistic chance to win. The Russians had 25,000 hard pressed, poorly supplied troops with their backs against the Dnieper with the bridges cut. They had no reliable means to resupply, reinforce or withdraw. Yet somehow they seemed to have won. Seems like a repeat of the Battle of Stalingrad.
I thought the Russian only had two weeks worth of shells left... last March.
I expect we'll see more ramping up of production of munitions we are sending to Ukraine. And frankly, considering who this war is against, NATO can afford to draw down its stockpiles to some extent because there's really nobody else to fight. A land war against China is unlikely in the extreme.
Don't be so quick to buy into the propaganda that Russians are "running out of supplies". We've been hearing that for 6 months.
The leaders in the west will fight to the last drop of Ukrainian blood.
Except in the Ardennes there was a substantial breakthrough and a general collapse by the defenders. Northwind might be a better analogy. Or even the French invasion of Germany in 1939.

A country TOLD to do so, part of the western “ Russia Derangement Syndrome”.
…..Fighting Vlad down to the last Ukrainian….events are shaping up to reasonably deduce the West has plans to carve up a totally destroyed Ukraine.
The West knows Vlad will never give up an inch of the ethnic Russian territories.
That leaves the East to Russia, and the Western ethnic Ukrainian areas go back to their historic countries, Poland, Romania, etc.
Conflict solved. Russia gets their NATO buffer zone, nations surrounding Ukraine get their historic territory back, and Ukraine gets to keep Kiev area.
Ukraine RIP 1991-2023
