    Europe doesn’t need to fight. Ukraine is doing it for them and doing a good enough job that the Russian army, supposedly one of the world’s most powerful fighting forces, is being so reduced that Putin has not only resorted to a draft, but resorted to using prisoners as front line troops.

    Ukraine absolutely needs funding and weapons. But getting European forces involved in a larger war doesn’t appear necessary.

      The dark hilarity of it is the headlines that suppose Russia can’t even handle the economic backlash of winning the war at this point. Imagine holding those bags of shit.

      Ukraine won’t be there in 5 years. Not at the current rate. Russia has captured enough of the politicians and electorate that nothing meaningful is being done to support Ukraine now.

      I want that to change, but it seems pretty clear at the moment.

      Edit: to clarify. My statements about politicians and electorate are aimed at Western nations that would otherwise help.

      If read in that light and reasonably informed at all, no citation should be needed. See: Republicans, Le Pen, others.
