    Obviously more US aid is crucial, and it’s recent absence is clearly having negative consequences in Ukraine.

    If there is a silver lining, it’s that all of Europe is finally getting it’s military shit sorted out.

    Russia is settling into it’s war economy and the rest of Europe has decades of dust to shake off it’s military capabilities.

    Obviously NATO and individual European counties aren’t fully engaged in war like Ukraine is, but the resources consumed by war is proving just how under prepared Europe is for a long campaign.
