Hate to say this, but the fight to save Ukraine from Putin seems to be lost - thanks to a Republican Congress, which is still on break with no plan to grant aid to Ukraine when they return. Much more important for them is to continue Biden’s impeachment process despite no evidence of corruption and their “smoking guns” have been destroyed.
@johnldeboer The Ukraine war is not over. Europe is stepping up. Stop taking one setback out of context. You are pushing exactly what Putin wants.
The truth is Ukraine has been dismantling the Russian Navy and Air Force. They are having success breaking through Russian air superiority. All of this is good news.
They can and will hold out but we must vote out our do-nothing congressional leaders. Elect Democrats to Congress who will not obstruct aid to our allies this November.
Vote!
@danielbsmith Yeah, well, I hope you’re right. I have no problem with optimism, though I’m firmly in the realist camp. Without U.S. financial /military support, I can’t see Ukraine winning. Maybe an eventual stalemate, but with big chunks of Ukraine territory in Russia’s hands. And voting out the do-nothing Congress can’t happen for another eight months!
@johnldeboer It's going to be tough for them but it's not over. Europe understands they may not be able to rely on us so they are stepping up.
@johnldeboer: It kinda looks that is the way things are going, yes, even with lately great work by UKR forces and the Soviet's general staff ineptitude. Europe's trying to help, but without a substantial uptick from them it looks bad. If the Soviets do manage to claw back and force a "diplomatic solution", the reputation of the US will be mud. We will have been totally shown to be unreliable, corrupted from within by the enemies of freedom and democracy.
