Unfortunately, there are no winners in this war.
I believe the US was correct in providing armor without the most current protective features. To do that would provide an opposing force the ability learn from live fire conditions how the M1 Abrams can be degraded operationally.
It’s no different that providing F-16 aircraft. Capable, but dated.
This war is without question the most avoidable conflict in my lifetime....
A clown leader in Ukraine, absolutely ignorant of the GeoPolitical realities of his country, fed sweet nothings by western leaders...
Ukraine never had any shot at winning a direct conflict with Russia... and NATO was never going to commit direct involvement... so, end game is Russia will simply wear them down, turn their cities into rubble, and eventually some sort of peace will be declared, Russia won’t give up any meaningful territory it has taken, and Ukraine will be a smoking crater with an entire generation of young men dead for an outcome that could been dealt with at a bargaining table from very early on.
No, this isn’t in any way condoning or advocating Russia’s actions, its just the very cold hard reality of this situation, and that has been the reality since day one.
I have openly vomited watching the western world, lie to everyone, and hold up Z as some sort of freedom fighter and noble man... He’s a horrible human being, he has ensure generational suffering and death on his people, and the West propping him up and trying to put lipstick on him to pretty up this pig is disgusting.
Western Civilization has completely lost it’s way.
