Exclusive: Zelenskyy says without U.S. aid ‘we'll have no chance of winning’

Fine. You didn’t mobilize people under the age of 27, doesn’t seem like you were really “all in.”

What a waste of money.

Ugh, what a mess.  

I wonder if they can hold what they're holding now without US aid.  Maybe European countries could at least give them enough for that.

How many years do they want us to support them? 5 more? 15?

Chances aren't so hot with US aid, either.  Especially if the dingbats at the Pentagon who helped them plan the first counteroffensive help them plan the next one.

Are we responsible for stopping all the other genocides currently on going? Are you emotionally hysterical about the genocide in Burma, China, Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Syria as well?

Some of us are under 40 and have a lot of life left to live. We dont want this shit anymore. No more US tax dollars. No more aid.

Same goes for Israel.

They have the ability to win, incorrect.

Russia claims all of Ukraine. They've lost dang near half a million men in 2 years of the 2 day war, I mean not a war.

Just don't call it a war because they will throw you in prison over that.

Pretty much this.  Russia's economy is on a wartime footing, they are already outproducing the entire west in terms of artillery, and they have recouped their initial losses and then some.  Just sending more money, Abrams, or HIMARS won't make any more difference than the first shipments did.  Neither will F-16s.

This is a real war, and it's going to take a lot of hard fighting and sacrificing to win it.  Unfortunately the West has neither the money nor the desire to do either.

Biden is tired of his shit and doesn't want him to get anymore money or aid because if he did, he would close the border and the funding bill would pass.

Russia and much of the Soviet sphere had a very bad experience in the 90s.  They didn't have a population boom that we call the Millennials or Zoomers.

Both sides are desperately trying to keep a breeding population.  Some geopolitical strategists believe, and I agree, that this is essentially Russia's last chance, demographically, to take a swing at expanding their borders.  Within 10-20 years, they aren't projected to have enough military aged males to do shit, including securing their own frontier.

There's a very good reason no one over there is grinding up what few 18 year old kids they have.  The current "generation" isn't big enough to replace their population as-is, even without a goddamn war.

They are also outbuilding us in ships now.   Same goes for China which is also retooling for war.   Quantity does have a quality of its own.  What Iran did  to Israel was cheap, compared to the costs of interdiction of the waves of missiles and drones for Israel, the US and NATO.

Can’t win a war if you can’t mount an offensive.  This is a war of attrition and Russia has the population.

Not buying it. The takeover of crimea did not result in genocide or mass exterminations. They initially rushed Kiev to topple the government and achieve a quick result like they did in crimea. The idea that a genocide was coming next sounds made up.

I am going with the top dictionary definition here for Genocide btw, the deliberate killing of a large number of people to achieve ethnic cleansing. Probably what is going on is that you are using a UN definition that could include things like street names changing, then hoping to get the effect the dictionary definition of Genocide has.

The older guys on this forum didn't understand the US went full tilt in not only the Ukranian arms race but also the information space.

When YouTube and the mainstream media shows you nothing but Tier 1 Ukranian commandos fucking up Russians for breakfast you start to believe it.

It took a lot of research and due dillagence to get a grasp on what was actually going on in Ukraine; from the corruption to the battle lines big tech and the media have been in lock step

Russia doesn’t want to have to rebuild the entire country. They are willing to grind away at it. They could send more ballistic missiles and things their way. They haven’t went full on total war yet. If they have,  then they are weaker than I think.
