    Also, they think they might need a decade to defeat a power that has a fifth of its military size, and which has, so far, roundly managed to make a laughingstock out of much of the Russian military.

      Let’s assume Ukraine and all the funding it receives does delay it a decade and Russia eventually wins.

      Isn’t that still a resounding success delaying Russia by 10 years and crippling them from the extended war?

      It might suck for Ukraine, but from a foreign policy perspective that’s a success

        💯💯💯 these fuckers are enlisting prisoners and using 50 year old tanks. Their readiness is supremely fucked RIGHT NOW let alone a year or more from now.

        Any victory, if ever, will be phyrric at best.

        Uhh no it isn’t? What the fuck? The very fact of a war is a foreign policy disaster if you care about the well being of Europe at all. God I hate America sometimes
