It won't take Russia ten years or even five to either take all of Ukraine

Nonsense!

Russia doesn't have the resources, nor the economy to support a long term war. Russia is stuck in a losing war, or in a quagmire, neither of which is 'winning'.

And, when it comes to Americans. don't forget that going to war is not open to a voter decision. It's a decision which belongs with the presidency and with congressional approval. Once in power, the president can and will decide for the people. Did the people make the decision to go to war in Iraq or Afghanistan or in the middle-east? Again, it's not open to voter decision.

What in hell are you babbling about? Russia has more natural resources than any country in the world and has access to the manufacturing base in both China and India, who are gladly assisting the Russians in exchange for cheap Russian oil.

Everything you and your fellow Zeepers have said about this war for two years has been a lie. And, you keep lying, even to yourselves.

Those in Congress know very well that supporting US troops on the ground would their careers. I doubt there would be even 10 votes for that in the House.

Trump has already said he'll end the war within 24 hours if he's elected.

No politician is going to send troops into a war that has no direct national interest when 90% of the public opposes doing so. Not even Biden.

And, without US involvement, Ukraine has no chance of doing anything but losing more territory and lives.
