When Russia finally gets done with it, hopefully it should save the US taxpayers a pile of money. As mentioned several times in the past, before Russia gives up on Ukraine hell will freeze over. They may have given up on Afghanistan as they figured it wasn’t worth it an instead “Let the fools rush in” and sure enough they did and left with their tails between their legs, but Ukraine is a different story altogether.
Unless the US is hell bent on starting WW III as this conflict has long ceased to be between Ukraine and Russia and was entirely between US and Russia as the US has fomented this conflict way before the 2014 elections very similar what they tried in Kazakhstan not too long ago, but it was nipped in the bud. These poor Ukrainian conscripts have served and continue to serve as cannon fodder for some Ill guided and fantasizing Ukrainian politicians. In some ways similar to what our politicians got us in, in Vietnam getting American kids killed and maimed for what?
Even after Russia took over Ukraine in 1945 the Ukrainians fought against Russia for many years.
