If Ukraine is able to replace or recover damaged vehicles why is Zelensky still asking for more tanks (in Switzerland right now)? I thought the sanctions were going to trigger massive inflation and unrest in the Russian economy and their desire to support the war would disappear. I thought the Russians were out of ammunition last year and now they’re bombing relentlessly. I though their morale was so low they were going to capitulate when this attack happened, yet their first main line of defensive trenches hasn’t yet been touched. If Ukraine morale is high and Russian morale is low why are Ukrainians surrendering or refusing to fight on the front lines?

Austin told us all that he had high expectations for the counter-offensive two days before the Pentagon leaks revealed there were actually low expectations. Why believe the boy who already cried wolf, especially when his words don’t align with reality? There’s been too much lying. The war is costing too much in terms of tax payer dollars and Ukrainian lives. This Biden administration is stuck is a sunk cost fallacy and needs to stop.

    So if your country’s neighbors decide to murder you and abduct your kids, what would you like the rest of the world to do?

      You are not “the world”, it’s just you and your group of white first world imperialists friends, samo, samo.

        I guess the list of countries providing aid to Ukraine didn’t fit your narrative?

          Then show also the map of countries aiding Russia, if by “aid” you mean selling stuff to a country. I think even Europe would be blue by that logic.

            Selling does not count as aid and it’s not the meaning behind the map. Feel free to check out the related Wikipedia article.

              Ah I see so donating stuff like light bulbs makes it clear that those countries are on the side of Ukraine, and also support the, totally non-western but international idea, of supporting the war on Ukraines side? Your map also doesn’t have to be exclusive, since China is also providing aid to Russia for example. Lets see another map from your NATOpedia, that is clearly more political:

              I guess the list of countries providing military aid and the list of countries not sanctioning Russia didn’t fit your narrative?

              Remember kids, when you read “the free world” or “international community”, they are the G7 whities and barely 10% of world population.
