I would laugh if this wasn’t beyond grim. Grinding young and old so US companies can extract profit from an entire continent.
When talking about this with my lib friends, I suggested that maybe if Ukrainans went back in time to 2022, they might have decided that suing for peace in exchange for land would have been a better outcome than all the death and destruction that was about to come. He immediately retorted that, if we went back in time, that we should have spent a trillion dollars on weapons and marched on Moscow. I expected strong pushback during that conversation but I honestly didn’t expect “we should have had an even more horrific war and given even more money to the military industrial complex”
I think we must laugh, what else is there to do for them now? Apart from explaining this was mostly people who didn’t want to fight who fought, pressed into it by neonazis and NATO mercenaries, and all the war’s supporters have been hiding out in the West plugging their ears. Once everyone understands the premises, I think we can laugh.
lose with American help
lose without it
Z needs more coke money so he needs more men for the meat grinder. Such a good and obedient vassal state, dying instead of surrendering. If only Z had read a fuckin book about American foreign policy the past 60 years(use and abuse less powerful countries)
Lmao libs still coping thinking that more weapons or a special shipment of wunderwaffe will fix the war this time, trust me!
Liberals are dreamers who believe in the power of positive thinking. They live in a fantasy land where they can wish for things to happen without any regard for practicality or reality. Their idealist views lead them to ignore pesky details such as production capabilities and supply chains, leaving them with fanciful expectations that never come to fruition.
It also keeps them from moving past “Russia bad” and asking why exactly is this conflict happening.
Basically what happens when you’ve been told that you’re a gifted child all your life.
Ukraine showed that NATO ground weapons are nothing special. Iran’s strike showed that all of the West’s best air defense can be neutralized reliably. Bad day for NATO stans.
Who will win? One large international military empire of modern nations or one smol sanctioned pirate band?
It seems like Ukraine needs to pitch a subscription model…
For a small price of $50 billion a month you can help us send just enough young men into the meat grinder that we maintain a stalemate with evil Putin.
If you are late for payment we will send our president to give you a 7 days notice that Putin will takeover/destroy everything here if you fail to pay. Interest is added if late due to men finding clubbing more interesting that dying when we don’t have artillery shells
Western weapons failed utterly during the Zapo Offensive, so back when they were sending weapons Ukraine was still losing.
That’s sort of the elephant in the room, the west was in the best position they were ever going to be in last summer. The balance of power shifted significantly in Russia’s favor since then as even western media openly admits now. If Ukraine couldn’t make any progress back then it’s obvious that there’s no path to victory now.
