    Okay, I feel like anyone that thought that they had a chance of winning was drinking the Kool aid anyway, it’s obvious they can’t win, not even a war of attrition.

    I’m someone who loves history, and global politics, and although not literally recognized as an expert or anything, it’s super obvious that without the constant flow of aid Ukraine would’ve fallen in less than 8 months.

    What we have now is a proxy war where the EU and US are propping up a losing nation, but soon they will either surrender or be conquered unless the US or Europe directly intervene.

    Within the context of this single aid package, of course Ukraine is not going to be winning anything, other than perhaps the objective of stabilizing their frontline situation. Hopefully this is a return to form after too many months of deliberate stalling by Putin’s wing of the GOP.

      Americans will be like “we hate war, spend money on your own people” during times of peace but then scream “WHY ARENT WE SPENDING MORE ON WAR!?!?!” the instant one actually starts.
