It doesn’t even matter. Trying to rationing any opinion against unlimited support to Ukraine is no different than trying to point out flaws of Islam to ISIS. It’s pointless. A religion to many here. Your side won. Hope it goes well for you. If not, I won’t be expecting anyone here to admit it.

Supposedly Russia's conventional threat no longer exists, or so ive been told multiple times. Where does the ROI transition away from the juice being worth the squeeze? If they have been reduced 60% for example after 15 months and 60+ billion, but it takes another year and twice as much to move another 5-10%, when exactly do we stop?  What is the attainable goal since at this point pushing Russia completely out is becoming less and less likely?


NATO hasn't been relevant since 1991. The United States is however.




I agree with being involved. There has to be a tear line to that involvement, especially as it starts encroaching on national defense initiatives with tangible risks to us being underwritten.

If we want Europe to be supportive of the efforts in the Pacific and not requiring the permanent stationing of Heavy active divisions in Europe because a aggressive Russia is utilizing their playbook in Eastern Poland and the Baltics, we take action now. I understand that is hypothetical, but Putin does have a very clear goal of fracturing NATO as an alliance and as you have noted their asymmetric capabilities are still very much relevant and largely not degraded by the current actions in Ukraine.

You are of course correct that the prolonged nature and the highly probable continuation is going stress our stocks, to me that is more of this has demonstrated we have issues that need to be corrected especially in industries capacity than it has provided the PRC an opportunity. The risk was already there but there is no will politically to correct either in the US, Europe, or the Pacific partners, at least for the time being there is a bit of chance to correct it. We have also been able to demonstrated the ability to deliver millions of tons of equipment and gear, unmatched ISR and our systems can protect HVT against the pacing threats.

We are approaching an inflection point, where we need decide how much risk we will take with a possible Pacific conflict against the conflict that is happening today. Ron and yourself, are far more conservative wishing to focus on the larger threat by maintaining our resources, I tend to believe that demonstrating the West's strength while showing Japan, South Korea and the Philippines why its important to be partners will provide outsized gains in that arena. After Iraq and Afghanistan, I completely understand that cynicism, but there is no way we fight a cold or hot war against the PRC alone and we are successful.

We are past that point.  The conflict has absolutely shown critical gaps, however those gaps cannot be resolved in a timeframe conducive to allow for deterrence against the PRC, and in fact widening that gap over the several year timespan it will take to close it serves towards the opposite effect.

We started with things we could afford to lose and are rapidly escalating into the realm of things we can absolutely not afford to lose. Once again, where is the tear line where the ROI of Ukraine is significantly altering our risk acceptance levels for INDOPACOM?

Do we spend another two years kicking a downed horse we cannot kill and then come to that conclusion right as China closes off the SCS?  After two years of eating up HIMARS, Stinger, and PATRIOT magazines?  I don't think many understand or appreciate the actual scale of what is occurring over there, nor the implications of what it would actually take from us to fully support with enough advanced munitions to even make a dent in it.

Here is where the being a fire officer is kind of important in knowing the scale of the problem, it is well  know Europeans never bought sufficient stocks of ground attack precision weapons and one of their primary problems in their operating besides American forces. Because of that they either have to hang PGMs from US magazines on them or stick to dumb munitions, which will result in them getting in close to accurately use those munitions and that is going to result in heavy loses

They already have a bunch of HARMs which I suspect an F-16 can operate more effectively than a MiG-29.  And they already have AMRAAMs which I suspect the F-16 could effectively operate in some new ways for this war.

Even if they don’t use them for bombing, which will be a challenge even with the weapons in this environment, they have the ability to put munitions we’ve already given them to better use.

So you read a news report about them receiving some missiles, and automatically assume there will be enough to supply 30+ new aircraft indefinitely? Sounds like GD's auto response on ADA munitions to Ukraine as well.

Because you made it so.

Germany was emboldened by the cowardice of the world when it annexed territories and other countries.

Says who?

You?

Accusing folks of having allegiances beyond this country is pretty low.

America first does not mean America only.
