Ukraine is losing war; West must massively step up military aid

Cafes and restaurants are open and largely busy. It was in one of the latter that I met a senior Ukrainian government official who had contacted me, expressing approval for something I had said in the international media

"You know, don't you, that this time next year, a Russian soldier could be sitting right where you are," he said after a brusque introduction. "We are losing this war."

He is right. There were the great victories at Kyiv, Chernihiv and Kharkhiv. But with setbacks in Donetsk and Luhansk, the appalling realization is sinking in that this is likely to be a very bloody war, lasting years. The country's coastline is in the invaders' hands and its ports are blockaded. A serious economic crisis is looming in Ukraine and more widely. While Ukraine is not winning, it is losing.

While Ukraine is not winning, it is losing.

they were never winning this proxy war.

[The Louiswu]

No, no thank you very much.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

But...but...my Fakebook page is PLASTERED with Ukraine flags! How can they be losing? *SMIRK*

[LIConFem]

Screw the Ukraine, Russia, China and a few dozen other of the world’s constant irritants. Our biggest problems lie right here, within our own borders. Let the rest of the world fend for themselves for a while.

Not our fight but it is our money of which I heartily disapprove of being spent this way.

[Zathras]

We can spare Liz, Linda, Turtle, Mittens and Paul Ryan.
I’m sure they would love to give up their lives for Ukraine.

In a hawkish speech to parliamentary leaders more than four months into the war, Putin said the prospects for any negotiation would grow dimmer the longer the conflict dragged on."Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. What can you say, let them try," Putin said.

[Terry L Smith]

no.

[sit-rep]

Ukraine has been losing war since the beginning. Everything else you heard has been pure BS!!

[JonPreston]

Yep. Lots of money in his pocket too.

The west is falling apart. Holland is in civil war, the British government just fell, there was just an assassination in Japan, Germany is shutting down factories, Biden can’t answer questions because his corruption and showing with his daughter is out in the open, the economy is on life support, the border is wide open, the Fourth of July parade is shot up,

But let’s see if we can have a world war….

[BobL]

We’ve already sent half of our conventional weapons to Ukraine, without NOTHING to show for it. Do we now have to send the other half?

[joe fonebone]

This is europe’s war.
Let them take care of it

[JonPreston]

Assassinations were the last thing missing from the 1960s. Now they are here.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
