The possibility of Ukraine's army collapsing cannot be ruled out a US official has warned, report says

The possibility of Ukraine's army collapsing cannot be ruled out, an unnamed US official told Bloomberg.

The report said, citing talks with multiple officials, that Ukraine's position on the battlefield is at its most fragile moment since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022

Ukraine's war effort has been weakened in recent months by a severe shortage of ammunition, dipping morale among Ukrainian soldiers, and the impasse in Congress over US aid to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.

One major risk is a collapse of Ukraine's line of defense, which would allow Russia to make a major advance, Bloomberg said, citing an official speaking anonymously.

In recent weeks, building on its capture of Avdiivka, Russia has advanced incrementally in eastern Ukraine, claiming new territory and threatening the town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.

The sooner such a collapse occurs, the sooner US interests are served...in spite of the neocon deep state and MIC.

And the sooner world commodity markets return to normal.

Uke army was always going to collapse. Russia has so many more military men, so much more equipment, etc. We’ve used up our stockpile of weapons, according to Trump’s military advisor. Saw him talk on Rumble.

All we need to send them is a boatload of white flags.

Simplicius claims the Russian villages opposite Sumy are being evacuated.

That border has always been my assumption about the next big offensive.

If you want the war to be over, instead of sending more money to the Ukraine, hang the money-launderers working through the Ukraine here by the neck until dead. The mission could be accomplished in weeks if we got serious about it and the conflict in the area would disappear faster than a magician's coin.

Your plan is not realistic or responsible. It would not end the war, it would rather incite more wars and attacks, -South Korea, Taiwan, Baltic states, Balkans, etc. You’d probably be ecstatic unleashing tyranny upon ever more ppl. More destruction, deaths and resources to plunder to slake your unquenchable blood-thirst greed. Now you know why you’re called Orcs.

The DC Swamp Rats will squeeze out one more payment to allow them to squirrel away their war loot.

The Russians have set up a comm channel that allows the Ukies to arrange a surrender and live.

Wrong. Killing the money launderers who feed off both ends of wars has never in the history of the world ever resulted in more wars. Cutting the heads off snakes is very effective at disincentivizing further bloodshed. I've never been called an Orc before -- so I have no idea what special meaning that has for you. But if you are a pro-war republican like McCain, then I'm your whacko-bird-hobbit conservative and proud to wear the title.

Ukraine has no chance
The weapons we have sent there have ended up with the Mexican cartels (as Mexican news has revealed). How does this happen?
They are sending children and old men to the front line.

I agree. The Ukraine is little more than a money laundering operation for the global deep state, and we should not have been doing their bidding with U.S. cash and weaponry. By opening the spigot and sending U.S. money and weapons to the Ukraine, we have prolonged the agony of the Ukrainian people forced to play military while the tyrants in control redistribute wealth away from the U.S. Close the spigot and hang the money launderers. The war will end quickly once the money stops flowing.

I have no love for Ukraine being of southern Polish heritage. But I have even less regard for Russia and do hope Russia’s military is utterly destroyed.

Ukraine was always living far beyond its means.

This is yet another example of how welfare doesn’t solve any problem.

There is absolutely ZERO reason to believe the Russians would go after the Baltic states or Balkans.

Everything that has happened in Ukraine is a result of our meddling. We fomented an illegal coup and installed a government hostile to both the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine and to Russia. We built, trained and armed a 600,000 man army in Ukraine. We expanded NATO to Russia's borders after promising not to expand NATO eastward in the early '90s and then teased NATO membership for Ukraine.

We wanted this proxy war with Russia and we're getting our asses handed to us.

There is absolutely nothing we could do to save Taiwan if China wanted to invade. Saber rattling is not the answer to any threat from China.

Ukraine “completely collapsed” well over a year ago with “nothing left” and it was just a short amount of time for the news to filter out. And actually several times before that and after that as well over the course of the past two years. Nearly as many times as Putin has died or become incapacitated and Trump has “destroyed democracy.”

The Ukrainian army has been collapsing since the beginning of the war, and by now, it’s completely gone.

So, who the heck is doing the fighting?

A bigger war is raging on the internet, about who is winning and who is losing. Heck, the Russian army has also been ready to call it quits from the beginning, so, are they still recruiting from Syria or Iran?

We’ll be saying the same things 10 years into the war.
