Based on your reply, I will guess that you support Biden’s approach to the war in Ukraine.

A couple of questions:

- If Ukraine is in danger of being lost due to Russian military advances, do you believe the US should should do any of the following:

a) declare war on Russia?

b) deploy combat arms personnel in Ukraine and directly engage Russian military units?

c) institute the military draft to support a US combat arms and support presence in Ukraine?

Based on your reply, I will guess that you support Biden’s approach to the war in Ukraine. A couple of questions: a) blah-blah; b) blah-blah; c) blah-blah.

First make unfounded assumptions about the other party's entire politico-military position (cleverly insinuating that he is pro-Biden), and then go on to pose oh-so-innocent questions (it's quite possible that RockyTx in fact favors "d," "e," "f," or some combination thereof).

Par for the course!

Fury, as of today, 23rd April 2024, there is close to zero (but not zero) chance of all of Ukraine being lost due to Russian military advances.

There is a very low to zero chance for anything west of the Dnieper being lost to Russia - that chance ended when the Russians lost the battle of Hostomel Airport.

So, your question is more “If Ukraine is in danger of losing the territory that Russia already holds in the Donbas or a little more, do you ....”

And you’ve given a limited number of options - which are strawman arguments.

The ideal scenario is/was for Ukraine to have retained control of all of its pre-Feb 2022 territory or even pre-2014 sans Crimea. That is a low possibility at this stage.

Right now, for Ukraine to survive, what is needed and was done, was a show of support.

Russia needs to be convinced to leave Ukraine alone for the next few decades (that is a come down from my earlier hope that it could be longer)
