***Nonsense. The EU has only contributed $84 billion total to Ukraine. We’ve spent at least $113 billion on it.***
They were not matching US aid to Ukraine earlier in the war, but they are now. The problem they have is the Hungarians, French and Greeks have been holding it up.
***And, you know damn well the ONLY chance Ukraine would have “winning” would be with direct US involvement. NATO Europe would get its ass kicked the Russians.***
No one in the UK government is talking about going to war with Russia over Ukraine. Taking back Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk is not possible for the Ukrainians (and I would argue not desirable either). Even just holding the Russians back and maintaining a heavily fortified border based on the current front line would be a win for Ukraine.
***American citizens will [not] tolerate US troops on the ground. You can give up that idea.***
I never put that idea forward. In fact, I have explicitly ruled it out several times in this thread!
***the only course of action for Ukraine, if it wants to save what’s left of its country, would be to surrender. Continuing this war will only result in more dead Ukrainians and more lost territory.***
How will surrendering save their country? It would likely lead to a bloody insurgency and mass-murder/genocide by the Russians. The Russians are not reasonable people and their Army is well known for its brutality. They resemble Nazi Germany in many ways.
Only because conservatives in Congress refused to allow $61 billion more to Ukraine.
You don't seem to get, Americans are sick of funding a war that can only result in more dead Ukrainians and more lost territory.
Nothing but death and the destruction of Ukraine is being accomplished.
Because will take as much of it as necessary to end this war and there is NO chance of anything stopping that other than a Ukrainian surrender.
Russia never wanted to do anything more than to liberate the territory it has already annexed, areas where the largest ethnic groups are Russian and there were disenfranchised by the illegal coup that took place in 2014 that drove out a President the vast majority there voted for.
