As opposed to what? Losing the war? Letting Russia have the natural resources of Ukraine? Those natural resources are valued #4 in the world!

Get a grip. Russia has zero interest in Ukraine's resources. That's not why they're fighting this war. Russia has plenty of resources for hundreds of years, in fact, too many resources. They don't have the population to harness those resources. They have a people problem, not a natural resource problem.

In order for Ukraine to win back their lost territories, Ukraine needs at least 100,000 US/NATO troops to fight the Russians in Ukraine. This is the neocon dream, but unwillingness to deploy those troops is their obstacle. That's the point of this article.

Ukraine needs at least 100,000 US/NATO troops to fight the Russians in Ukraine.

Note to self: probably far more than 100,000 US/NATO troops are required. Estimates show 200,000 Ukrainian forces currently on ground and 400,000-500,000 Russian troops inside or staged outside Ukraine.

All the technologies already exist for 3-D printed autonomous AI robot troops that don't register politically as troops. Hopefully the transition to robot vs. robot war goes quickly, else the global warmongers will be unleashing continuous mass death and destruction everywhere.

Russia has zero interest in Ukraine's resources.

Nonsense. That was the whole point of seizing Donbas and the southern oblasts, to control those resources and landlock Ukraine.

So it’s not Ukraine’s resources that Putin wants, but Ukraine’s population? I guess that’s one way to describe Putin’s obsession with resurrecting the Russian Empire?
