There's more than just the US that are able to help.

No surprise.

1st year of most wars RUS is in. They're crap in but afterwards they become a force to be reckoned with.

US-EU should have given UKR all the military equipment that UKR requested in the beginning instead of it being slowly given.

Thanks for the link!

Me too. I never thought I would say this, but I'm surprised the Military Industrial Complex doesn't hold more pull with Reps.

"slated to win easily"

Almost sounds like a sports cliche. Easy to talk about war like that when you have little to no stake in the game and can think of both sides as good guys and bad guys.

It’s almost like it’s not that ridiculously simplistic.

Maybe because Ukraine isn't going to "win" any time soon or easily as you believe?

I would think much of their supply chain involves the use of US military logistics infrastructure. If the US military is prevented from funding these pipelines, they may find it cost prohibitive to even get the supplies there.

That's not extremely profitable though. It's only "very" profitable. The US doesn't move for "very".

Let's first slow down, instead use these tax payer funds to add middle men, like US corporations and fund them instead to help Ukraine. Much more money for the chums from the club.

At best UKR will be able to maintain a stalemate with RUS.

RUS is tapping into alternatives to get what they need and want. Which for the most part is currently working out.

UKR relies heavily on the US-EU for funding and support. That support is inconsistent and will fluctuate but will mostly remain relatively standard or low unless something media worthy happens.

When and how much they're are funded depends on public opinion and the media, whose interest changes.

eg. Afghanistan with the Afghan women and girls, and how support is significantly being redirected to Israel-Palestine conflict.
