U.S.
if the Russians could have taken Ukraine they would have by now
Yep, so they dig in and let Ukraine destroy themselves trying to dig them out. Ukraine can’t win militarily. They need NATO (meaning us and maybe a token European force) to go in and do it for them.
Peace sells, but who’s buying?
Has anyone stopped to think that Russia (and China) are enjoying watching the U.S. bankrupt itself by sending billions of dollars, and military equipment to a war that Ukraine will never win? Hitler thought he could defeat Russia, but we all know how that ended up. Germany became dependent on Russia for the oil they had invaded Russia for in 1941.
Russia and China have been strange bedfellows for decades, We were fighting proxy wars with them in Korea. And it hasn't ended since.
Sullivan “planned it to be Biden’s equivalent of (President Woodrow) Wilson’s Versailles. The grand alliance of the free world meeting in a victory celebration after the humiliating defeat of the hated foe to determine the shape of nations for the next generation. Fame and Glory. Promotion and re-election. The jewel in the crown was to be Zelensky’s achievement of Putin’s unconditional surrender after the lightning spring offensive. They were even planning a Nuremberg type trial at the world court, with Jake as our representative. Just one more fuck-up, but who is counting?”
Another reason why Trump was such a great POTUS - he already achieved a pinnacle as a real estate developer - his ego was already satisfied. He became POTUS to solve problems.
Neocons are Nazi, period.
Plenty Republicans in Congress following lock-step with Biden on Ukraine. They all need to go, but they never will, because stupid people will keep voting for them, just to keep the seat Republican.
I consider almost all elected Republicans in the class named “grifting Joe Biden fascists”.
And you're very wise to.
Knowing how stupid and compromised Biden is, Putin has been waging a war of attrition to bleed the US dry and further divide and weaken us...and guess what? It’s working.
The Russians NEVER wanted to take the entire country, however. All they wanted to do was liberate the ethnic Russian part of the country, build a land bridge from Crimea to mainland Russia and take control of the Black Sea, which already mostly been accomplished.
The objective was never to take the entire country but to liberate the ethnic Russian part of it, build a land bridge from Crimea to mainland Russia and take control of the Black Sea, which pretty much been accomplished.
Neocons are the most clueless people on earth, dangerously ignorant.
So did Napoleon.

So too Dennis Prager, who says that "moral clarity" and a "working moral compass" require us to aid Ukraine.
Biden and friends knew this all the time, they just wanted the bribery money.
“I just want people to stop dying”
Indicted, of course.
Sounds like the Chinese have gotten word to the Biden administration they want a long stalemate in the Ukrainian war.
