He needs a scapegoat for our own economic problems and the Putin gas tax fits the bill perfectly.
By most accounts, Putin's invasion is stalled and he doesn't have the resources to jack it up again.
Right now there's a stalemate that could last a long time.
With more western weapons, however, the Ukrainians could retake Kherson and end Putin's plan for a land bridge across southern Ukraine.
Some reports already have Putin planning to flee.
Maybe we should offer him asylum?
THAT would send a strong message to Xi.

prolonging it.
And that opinion piece is shit. The authors call for "bold, decisive action," but never say what it would be, other than escorting Ukrainian ships. The Hill ought to be ashamed of itself for publishing it.
as soon as possible, without escalation…there’s lots to be done once he is removed….regardless of the time frame, the goal is still the same.
His military is techonologically pathetic and his troops are demoralized.
They have no incentive to die for Putin's tiny man inferiority complex.
They are not defending their homes and families.
Biden knows thus but he wants the war to continue as long as possible.
even dream of sacrificing Ukrainians for political gain...that's not Joe Biden...at all.
American weapons are what’s making him persist in a war he can’t afford to lose?
That’s incoherent.

If Ukraine had 50 the war would end in days. The Russians have nothing remotely equivalent.

Which covers what most of us have probably wondered. It’s not as if we have an unlimited number of systems, or more importantly, rockets to send.

Do you think they are in meetings saying, "only send two HIMARs this week because we want them bleeding indefinitely"?
I don't think it is in the interest of the USA or Europe or anyone for this to keep going. German electricity rates just hit another record high. The European economy is getting demolished by this situation.
It (infantry fighting) even really starts. They know once Russia clear up the Donbas and Kherson counteroffensive fails, the game is over. War mongers are desperate now.

To give Europe a winter that they will never forget. Winter is always Russia's friend. On the other hand Ukraine wants to end it before winter and then start peace talk. That's why Ukraine want counteroffensive in August which they are clearly not ready.
