Ukraine was in trouble already — now it openly admits it's on track to lose
Donald Trump did this.
Because he’s a sucker and has an orbit of selfish traitors.
For those not in the know: Donald Trump did this by trying to extort Ukraine to "find shit on Biden" in exchange for weapons, which is why he was impeached the first time.
He also just general signaled to Putin he really doesn't care about honoring US alliances with his demands and general disregard for the importance of NATO.
Would not be surprised if a Ukrainian refugee takes a shot at him.
Almost like the west isnt funding them the way they are supposed to. To anyone in the US, this is why you need a democratic majority in the house. Russia has already called Ukraine a stepping stone multiple times, but US news is a awash with nothing but news on Gaza and israel despite the US policy on israel being unfortunately decided for 70 years now. So instead of pressuring our govt to act on Ukraine, we have protestors wasting their effort on the wrong genocide, one which the US was never going to stop, and is much smaller in scale. Its a dismal way of looking at things, but it is not incorrect.
Protesting against genocide is never a waste of effort. Following your logic, Ukraine is a lost cause because Russia is determined to invade it and US congress is too divided to stop it anyway, so no one should care.
But haven't you heard? The US has already committed LITERAL BILLIONS to Ukraine, and what did it get us? Nothing! Just imagine if that money would've been spent here! We could have spent it on schools Some poor CEO could've had fat bonuses! Maybe we could've cancelled the medical debt of 100 people We could've spent more on covering up environmental damage without doing anything against the companies that caused that damage.
I tell you, if we wouldn't have spent that money on Ukraine, we could've medicare for all, student loan forgiveness, functioning infrastructure and a sane republican party. But because we spent those billions on Ukraine, sadly, we had to budget a little and got none of the above. If only we still had that money, all of our woes would be over!
sigh
We didnt spend billions on Ukraine. We donate old arms worth billions that were due to be phased out anyway to Ukraine. Crappy media reporting has really done on number on everyone who believes otherwise. And guess what? That weaponry was doing the trick. As predicted, giving Ukraine an absolute fuckload of our outdated shit is held russia back.
But sure. Lets let Poland, Finland, and Lithuania fall next -___-
almost like it was a poor investment that didnt pan out.
Also, just because Ukraine loses the traditional war, doesn't mean that the fighting will stop.
Also also, what greater threat to european peace and stability is there than a bunch of former allies, who are battle-hardened, traumatized, right next to EU borders and are feeling betrayed by their 'western partners'?
A russia-funded network of right-wing parties, aimed at breaking up the european union, recently invigorated by their success of stopping a unified response to russia's invasion.
Fuck, why did you have to write it down so eloquently? Hungary is lost, Slovakia is lost, who is going to be next? Can Poland hold them off?

Assuming you're talking about the Ukrainian people in some kind of Guerilla warfare, I think they'd be more likely to focus their efforts on Russia (the ones that actually did the attacking, raping, and bombing) vs the west that just "didn't do enough"
See reporting from Ukraine for example
Credibility? I just would rather not have to fight a land war in Europe after letting Russia finish its genocide of Ukraine
It pisses me off to no end that war is seen as a fucking "game." This isn't fucking Pokemon where you "win" and you keep my cards.
The fact that the entire world just accepts that when you "win" a war you keep the land you took is beyond insanity... The entire world should be united against anyone who does this. There needs to be a collective NO.
But C.R.E.A.M... so we can't.
Well it eventually becomes difficult in the long term. I doubt the sanctions would be resolved any time soon but at a certain point unless your willing to go to war— which if we weren’t willing to supply probably won’t happen— you should eventually normalize relations once everyone who was involved in the war is dead.
You can't trust Business Insider.
Multiple sites show it left leaning in bias, but mostly factual/reliable at 82%, with only a small amount of falsities.
