The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.

    This is exhibit “A” of how the U.S. fights it’s proxy wars.

    They could provide enough support to kick the shit out of Russia.

    But, the World politics doesn’t fit that twisted & ridiculous narrative.

    I’m not a conspiracy type. However, it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn’t provided everything possible to push Russia out.

    IMO: actual full U.S. support pushing the limits of “war”, would end this insanity in short order.

      Israel

      China

      Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.

      Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They’re wanting to get a path to the ocean.

      The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I’m in full support of giving them everything possible, but there’s a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.

      I’ve been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.

      He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.

        It’s bizarre & frustrating. It’s crystal clear that NATO countries or EU countries could provide the support to help Ukraine kick the shit out of Russia.

        My brain hurts wondering why it hasn’t happen. This shit really makes me believe in some type of stupid crap like Illuminati 😉

      Didn’t see you reply but typed something very similar. We train the Ukraine army for combined arm warfare then we don’t supply them the combined arms. It’s like we want it to drag out.
