The problem is that the West isn't ready to fight Russia in a land war where Russia has clear fighting force numbers and ammunition advantages. Ukraine and the West can't keep up with the supply of basic munitions, and Ukraine is running out of people to fight. When the war began, millions of Ukranians fled the country. Add the dead from the war, and you have about 30,000,000 people left. That's less than Poland and pales to Russia's 145m. So we've sentenced Ukraine to death by encouraging Ukraine to fight this war. A few Leopard tanks that Ukraine doesn't know how to use have no chance at changing the battlefield map, and their pilots don't know how to fly F-15s.
The quiet secret in Washington DC is that Ukraine will lose the war, but the easiest thing to do is to keep encouraging Ukraine to fight so our US leaders don't lose face. Thank you, Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken.
The war already lacks public support in Germany, Italy, and France--and, by the way, the UK isn't making good on its meager commitments while it talks a big game.
You should be interested in this human catastrophe that is taking place and seek to end it. Unfortunately, because Putin has all the leverage and we lied to Putin about the Minsk Accords, he may not even talk to us.
At some point, it will be up to Joe to fold or send US troops. Zelensky is just a US puppet and fundraiser. He has no say.
