Where is the off ramp here? Despite billions and constant propaganda Russia is not going to lose this war on the battlefield.
How much money and how many people are we going to just send to their deaths just because prolonging the conflict weakens an adversary to US.
It’s really sad :(
I am assuming you are an American, so I think you have sent no one.
Pretty much. All US veterans who have died in Ukraine were volunteers. Just about everything we've given Ukraine is old military equipment we don't need, and it accounts for such a small amount in the total budget while absolutely fucking the greatest threat to Europe at the moment. It might be the best ROI we've ever gotten from anything ever.
This is coming from someone who is extremely anti-war, but that doesn't make me anti-defend yourself.
Greatest threat to Europe is the european union and it's politicians
