Fuck it I'll take the down votes, he's right. Ukraine is losing this war and stand no chance of winning back there lost territory, barring western countries putting troops on the ground. The longer the war goes on, the more territory the Russians gain and the more Ukraine's manpower gets drained. The only people who stand to benefit from the war continuing is the Russians and western defense contractors.
Obviously fuck Russia for starting this needless war but you have to understand when to cut your losses and stop pouring money and lives into a losing quagmire.
Yeah, the Russians are winning at the rate of 1000 dead or injured Russians per day and are having trouble press-ganging more young Russian men to be thrown into the meatgrinder. Their own manufacturing capability can't keep their troops supplied, their losses of artillery and tanks exceed their ability to replenish them, and they're buying ammunition and light armaments from Iran and China with money they don't have.
And their three-day war is well into year 3.
If Russia is rewarded for its aggression, they are not going to stop with Ukraine. You're not getting peace by appeasing them, you're getting a guarantee of more war, more massive civilian casualties, more refugees, increasingly close to currently secure Western countries. Russia will not stop until it is forced to stop.
Not only that. But Ukraine managed to capture in a month the same amount of land Russia has captured in a year (via Kursk)
There is a point to think about though …. I’m all for supplying Ukraine with as much help as they want, both now and rebuilding, but it’s their country getting destroyed, their people getting maimed and killed. And they don’t have an endless supply. I don’t know a way out of the current mess, but it can’t just continue like this
Appeasement. This would only invite more russian fuckery. It’s a fucking stupid plan.
Yep. See Crimea.
