Yes, no shit. That was the outlook from day 1.

The Russian Army is largely represented as a bunch of baffoons in the Western media, but it's still one of the 3 largest armies in the world. Ukraine cannot hold their lines indefinitely, the only way to "win" against an opponent that has multiple times your materiel available is guerilla.

The free world loses when Russia wins.

It's pretty much an invitation to China to do the same in Taiwan and an invitation for Russia to start more wars in eastern Europe.....

Helping Ukraine costs money. Not helping Ukraine costs even more.

Does the free world also include places America has invaded or bombed?

Japan, SK, and Germany seem on board with aid to Ukraine... So yes

People in this thread clearly don't understand what the implications are. There is a very clear danger of war on the European continent that will involve NATO and by proxy the US. Aid for Ukraine is the absolute cheapest option. Europe is not going to just let Ukraine fall and will ramp up their involvement. We already have France willing to send troops.

They so desperately want their own version of Putin in the US. Where they get to kill their political opponents when they like.

It is a bad idea to trust and rely on Ameeica. Some Afgans learned this lesson in 2021, the same is happening to Ukraine now.

Gaddafi's is just sad. Such a terrible decision to give up their nuclear deterrence and trust western governments.

Nukes are why the DPRK hasn't been invaded again, and why it hasn't ended up Libya is now.

Ukraine gave up their nukes in exchange for peace with Russia, then got invaded by Russia.

Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Ukraine is already losing and unless something crazy happens they will lose.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

That's why Congress doesn't want to send more aid.

Can't wait until this shit is over so that all the shit-for-brains boomers finally take down all their stupid flags.
