Comment on 'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 2 days agoThe war is very winnable. The idea that Russia is invincible or too big to fail is a fallacy.
Russia’s economy is collapsing under the weight of sanctions and will not be able to sustain its ability to wage war.
When Russia is on its knee after its complete economic collapse and is unable to sustain the war, that is when peacekeeping troops will be sent.
Europe is preparing to send an absolutely enormous amount of aid to Ukraine that will be able to sustain Ukraine through the entirety of Trump’s term.
knows that if Ukraine falls then Europe is next on Putin’s chopping block
You should show a modicum of respect to the people of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy
They have earned it

IDK, the argument that “believe me dude, Russia’s about to lose to Ukraine” doesn’t sound believable to me after the years and years I’ve heard it.
I show them several modicums a year. That doesn’t mean I have to want to fund their war or prolong it though.
Are you American?

You don’t have to believe me, there any number of reliable objective sources available that will confirm it.
Russia had an enormous stockpile leftover from the Soviet Union and has nearly burned through all of it. Yes, it’s taken a few years.
How do you want this to go?
Usually I provide bad faith arguers such as yourself with the links to those credible objective sources and they refuse for some whatever made up reason
Because of course they do
I mean, we’re 3 years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine and you seem to be ignorant of a major conflict and genocide on a basic level
Why should that change now?
What I am saying is correct whether you believe me or not, you can FO and stay ignorant for all I care. I am just providing the opportunity not to be

In my dream world I’d like to see Ukraine absolutely destroy Russia and take it over. I don’t think that’s gonna happen though.
I tried following it at first but I kept seeing tons of conflicting information and it ended up being too much. One day Ukraine has almost won the war, the next day Russia. At the end I was like “why am I even following this war halfway across the world that’s only marginally related to America” lol
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That is a common misconception. The war in Ukraine is not only marginally related to America.
The outcome of the war in Ukraine will determine the fate of Europe
As I recall the last time that happened, it wasn’t marginally related to America.
I suppose being overwhelmed with conflicting information is a common experience for just about everyone. I feel fortunate to have the education and training to be able to make sense of it.
I wouldn’t be so quick to underestimate Ukraine’s chances, it seems like every time a Russia has done that they lose another 25,000 soldiers and their accompanying equipment
