There's nothing to show for it. They've stalled the Russian advance but the Ukrainian counteroffensive has captured half of the ruins of a single barn this summer. The war is killing Russians still so liberals are automatically on board, but Ukrainians aren't doing anything with propaganda value to stay in the headlines. It's going to be a stagnant story like Syria.

cause they thought it would be way easier to beat Russia. It's been a while since America had to deal with a modern military, they were used to guys who live in caves. oh wait, America lost to them to. lololol

The only people still giving a shit are Reddit libs who bring it up all the damn time.

They should go over there and enlist. I would feel much less ambivalent about this war if it was just Redditors getting mulched.

People irl stopped giving a shit when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. People probably give more of a shit about Covid than the invasion and people definitely don't give a shit about Covid irl lmao

Its all media driven right?

So long as the main sources of media aren't pushing to the top or right in front of everybody's eyes, other shiny thins or issues from direct personal material reality are going to take priority.

Don’t worry, we have other ways of funding the war. We don’t need the approval of Americans. Wink wink, nudge nudge

hell it wouldn't have even gotten the support it has if it didn't become part of performative culture war bs
