Why Ukraine is losing the war with Russia
Why Ukraine is losing the war with Russia
The West’s failure to send weapons to Kyiv is putting Putin on course for victory.
Ukrainians sacrificed their nation for Americans, and America could not care less about Ukraine. This has to be the backstab of the century.
Anybody who's minimally historically aware knew that this is the inevitable fate of all US proxies. This was always going to be the outcome.
When you run out of shells and ammo, you tend to lose.
Being outnumbered and losing the equipment that you thought would win you the war also contributes.
How come nobody mentions that Russia has over 4x the population of Ukraine?
Or 3x shell production capacity than the entire west https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/10/politics/russia-artillery-shell-production-us-europe-ukraine/index.html
And once again the conservatives are showing that they are truly America's enemy at home. Not just through fomenting domestic terrorism and a coup, but also by throwing whatever remains of the US' reputation and reliability for it's allies under the fucking bus.
They have so much blood on their hands by this point I wonder if they simply enjoy being the villains of this story.
Who is in power right now. Both parties are deeply infused with liberalism, the only difference is where they point their fascism. You cannot in good faith say one party is better than the other when the "better" party is literally complicit in genocide.
For all intents and purposes the conservative party is in power. Sure, they aren't in the White House, but they own a majority in congress and the supreme court.
As for complicity in genocide: I never said I liked the Biden administration's wholesale carte blanche sorry of Israel's genocide in Gaza, but two wrongs don't make a right. The US doesn't need to also support the genocide of Ukrainians by Russia through political inaction. One current genocide involving a US ally is bad enough, we don't need two thank you very much.
Sure, I'd love for the US to stop supporting Israel. But I'm not going to suggest they do it over the dead bodies of Ukrainians.

Never waste a moment to sow tribalism.
I get your point about the balkanization of US politics, but frankly it's called for in this particular instance (as well as the Jan 6 coup attempt I am referring to) as it's quite literally the conservative party's representatives blocking the effort to give aid to Ukraine in congress. No ifs, buts, or both sides-isms about that.
NATO doesn't have an answer to the Russian invasion. They know they can't go in themselves and directly fight Russians, and they know they can't support Ukraine with billions indefinitely.
Everyone says that giving up Ukrainian territory is absolutely out of the question, but that's what has already happened. Crimea hasn't been Ukrainian territory for 10 years now. International recognition doesn't count for much when the reality on the ground is that the Russians control the region.
I genuinely don't see any outcome where Ukraine gets its territory back.
Which raises the question of what exactly was this all for. Ukraine could have retained all of its original territory and sovereignty if it simply agreed to stay neutral and implement Minsk. Then Ukraine could've still retained most of its territory if the Istanbul agreement was allowed to go through. At each turn, NATO egged Ukraine on to fight, and in each case the situation got worse for Ukraine thanks to NATO involvement. Now, hundreds of thousands of people died, millions of others fled, large parts of the country have been destroyed, and there might not be an Ukraine left in the end. This war has completely discredited NATO in my opinion.
