Nam, where the US won militarily, but lost due to radical anti-war protests.

start with the blood relatives between 17-35 of every last Federal Employee, NO EXCEPTIONS, give them a few weeks training and send them straight to the Front Lines in Ukraine.

Include the registered democrat Federal employees themselves, and you drain the swamp.

Putin is more right than he knows.

This stupid war is a Vietnam and Afghanistan meat grinder and money pit for both sides.

And the Left hoodwinked generations of students into thinking of Vietnam as Nixon’s War, as if LBJ and JFK never existed.

Who is willing to fight an existential war against them?

The US and Europe, Canada, Australia among others

U.S. Spent $141‐Billion In Vietnam in 14 Years

https://www.nytimes.com/1975/05/01/archives/us-spent-141billion-in-vietnam-in-14-years.html

That would be around $640 billion in todays dollars.

Not wanting to get involved. Let Europe be Europe and continue the centuries long tradition of ethnic wars.

“Ukraine will be America’s next Vietnam”

That’s been obvious for quite a while.

It was a political loss as I stated. North Vietnamese General Giap said when the US pulled out, they were within days of surrendering.

Vlad is close to his stated objectives from the very first day. Define winning.

What is now clear:
1) Vlad is never giving up Crimea and the five ethnic Russian provinces, ever.
2) Ukraine, without NATO intervention, is unable to take back Crimea, the five ethnic Russian provinces and simply does not have the manpower to re-occupy them.

“ Winning” is two things.
1) the Winner is the one who loses the least..
2) the Winner is also the one who accomplishes their stated goals.

By this logic, Vlad is clearly “ winning”. .

American taxpayers are 34 $trillion dollars in debt, while our government sends even more deficit dollars to a corrupt s’hole of a country so there borders are protected, while ours remail open. But what would a pussy Canadian know.

"Ukraine aid is just 1% of the total US budget ($61 billion of $6.1 trillion)"

How arrogant, and ignorant of you to think you have the right to tell us American citizens how much we can afford to spend on your proxy wars.

You also show your ignorance by continually labeling U.S. citizens that don't want a single penny going to any foreign war, "Putin Pals." No matter how many times you've been told, you still persist with your childish labeling. You're pathetic.
