The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.

    it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn’t provided everything possible to push Russia out.

    Israel

    China

    Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.

    Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They’re wanting to get a path to the ocean.

    The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I’m in full support of giving them everything possible, but there’s a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.

      I believe you are thinking of Ethiopia going to war with Eritrea. Eritrea recently gained independence from Ethiopia and now the Ethiopians want a sea port again. Watch that turn into an Iran vs USA proxy war too.

        Just like we needed Russia to stop Germany in the 20th century, we’ll now need Russia to stop China in the 21st century.

        Right now Russia and China are keeping each other in check. Taking one of them out of the fight just means the other is unobstructed in fighting us.
