1) EVERY SINGLE INCH of territory Russia has annexed will remain with the Russian Federation as long as anyone reading this is alive. Nothing will change that. Not even if NATO, stupidly, got involved directly. Whether you like or whether you don't like it, you're going to have to start learning to live with it.
2) If Ukraine doesn't unconditionally surrender, Russia will likely take everything east of the Dnieper River and the entire Black Sea coastline. Ukraine has no ability to stop that from occurring.
3) There is no chance the American people will tolerate us getting involved directly in Ukraine. There is no national interest in Ukraine. The career of any politician supporting such action would be over.
4) Russia is the big winner in this proxy war. It is free of any economic dependency on the West all while the Europe is still dependent on Russian oil and gas (and stupidly buying it through third party countries at much higher rates). It has land that accounted for 70-80% of Ukraine's GDP. It's added about 10 million to its population.
5) Russia is blessed by the arrogance of their enemies, who consistently lie to themselves, overestimate their capabilities while underestimating Russia's. Those running this proxy war are dangerously arrogant and ignorant and have the capability of leading this nation into ruin. Setting off WW III would do just that. Our woke military was squashed in a world war with Russia and China.
What Alina Kabaeva doink?
What Jackson Hinkle doink?

They have been doing a pretty good job of stopping them for the last two years.
“There is no chance the American people will tolerate us getting involved directly in Ukraine.”
At this point in our history there is no chance the American people..at least the democrats...will tolerate getting involved directly in America.
