- Ukraine needs to lock in what it has already achieved
  What exactly do they think they've achieved at this point?
  
  made supporting overt nazis socially acceptable?
  added a fun element of danger to walking in the countryside for the next few decades at least?
  good work for scrap metal dealers?
  significantly fewer people to govern?
  less territory to defend?
- I'm curious what they base the assessment that Ukraine's economic outlook is not bad on.
  
  They will be able to purchase all of Ukraine once the war is over, so it's not a bad economic outlook at all for the US bourgeoisie lol
  
  Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the past year is how well the economy has held up under the strain of war and occupation, even allowing for the fact that around 70% of the Ukrainian budget is covered by international assistance. Inflation has been kept under control, falling from 27% in December to 11% last month. GDP will grow slightly next year by 1%-2%.
  Yes, shooting a dying geriatric with steroids to make them stand up is not a bad outlook
  
  It's ripe for some good old neoliberal shock therapy and mass privatization.
- for Western taxpayers, the war in Ukraine is a remarkably cost-effective way to degrade Russia’s military capabilities without risking a single life.
  It is well known in Amerikkka that eastern europeans aren't living beings.
- The second one is especially telling and especially infuriating
The West's Patience Is Running Shorter Than Ukraine's War
Westerners treating an attrition war as a business cycle performance can't accomplish shit
