CIA Director Bill Burns on Thursday said Ukraine could lose the war by the end of 2024 without more funding from the U.S., delivering his most specific comments yet on a possible defeat as Kyiv struggles against a much larger Russian army.
“With the boost that would come from military assistance‚ both practically and psychologically — Ukrainians are entirely capable of holding their own through 2024 and puncturing Putin’s arrogant view that time is on his side,” Burns said Thursday during an event at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

World history is ongoing European war. The only peace was between 1945-1990. US involvement kept the peace. Is it still worth it?
NOT. OUR. WAR.
Gimme back my dough.
“The only reason the Russians have not over run the Ukraine is because they don’t want to”
They said as much at the outbreak of the conflict.
Some European leaders are trying to scare their populations by saying Russia will invade all of Europe, which is nonsense.
Ukraine’s complete and utter contempt for Americans is
evidenced by the changing stories we’re being spoon fed.
How ludicrous is this.......?
<><>Zelensky keeps telling us they’re “on the verge” of winning
<><>”if only” we’d give ‘em several more billions.
<><>Zelensky brags they’re really doing a job on bad ol’ Putin.....
<><>they’re impoverishing him, while “shooting down every Russian thing in sight”..........
But wait for the switcheroo, gang.......now “they say” by witholding our tax dollars, poor decrepit Russia w/ its badly depleted military is gonna “march in and takeover Europe, the Balkans, Poland....even all of NATO.”
W/ the threat that this will “demand” US boots on the ground.
Which is it nitwits? Make up your frickin’ minds.
A war CIA promoted? Of course
If the CIA’s pushing it, I’m agin’ it.
Hope they do lose to be honest about it.
We had the most free, secure and prosperous country in history, and we’re flushing it all away on the false promise that we could do better, inspired by those who despise us out of nothing but envy. We’re going to fall not from the malice of our enemies but because of our own stupidity.
Continuing this war only guarantees more dead Ukrainians and more lost territory.
Ask Putin the plan. We are just defending against his attacks.
They don’t want to win?
How noble of Russia.
Do you know how silly that is?
They’ve gotten boost after boost and have been losing the entire way.
The Russians withdrew from Kiev because they negotiated a peace agreement that satisfies dried their reasons for in adding Eastern Ukraine.
Russia does not seem to have further territorial ambitions in Ukraine but they will not allow Ukraine to become a NATO armed threat to their borders. It is a hard stop red line for Russia
Biden torpedoed that agreement because he wanted a wag the dog proxy war to distract from his policy failures, enrich his cronies and further the agenda of the people pulling his strings
so 60 bil just isn’t enough...
How much U want?
Okay so there is no plan.
Wrong list?
All the money in the world isn’t going to save them, as rumors of a U.S. draft being reinstated, it wouldn’t surprise me to see US troops sent into Ukraine when Vlad gets to the Dniepner….the deceptive “ spin”- Peacekeeping…..
It’s manpower, manpower, manpower…..the Ukies are expended.
so 60 bil just isn’t enough...

-$$$ 60 billion is just enough to keeping paying for the Ukie government to operate until November, from pensions to the dog catchers salary to the meter maids. Disgusting, the corrupted Zelensky regime has become our 51st state.
