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.

But I have even less regard for Russia and do hope Russia’s military is utterly destroyed.

Do you work for the State Dept? Hope (or perhaps fantasy) is the basis of most US policy.

In other words more funding will just delay the inevitable.

Imagine that. You start off thinking that Russia is a weak state with no culture, barely a government, nothing works at all [oh except the export of natural gas that threatens the very underpinnings of western democracy], plot to overthrow it, which really wouldn't take much, and suddenly you wake up and discover that oh, you are overmatched in artillery and rocketry on the ground. And like Napolean and Hitler, your wildest immaginings are thwarted when you were just that close to finally defeating mother Russia and pushing her off the eastern edge of Siberia and into the Barents Sea.

Fools. Utter fools our neocons are.

Wars are about weapons, manpower, and will to fight. Russia has always had all three. The end was predetermined. Only the time frame was in question.

It’s always been a money laundering Operation. Predictably, the greed won’t let them stop. Don’t forget how hard Fox and Hannity sold this money laundering Op.

I want them both destroyed
