    We are clearly not fighting to win in the Ukraine.
    Our leaders are doing what they can, which fortunately isn't much, to prevent Israel from winning in Gaza.
    Western Europe is hurting. In the US the Christmas sales mostly purchased on credit, and when that piper comes calling there will be a lot more banks falling.
    So what is the game here?
    The same band of jackasses have set all of this in motion but why?

    If your goal is to replace western civilization with something else. what is it?
    I see nothing that is preferable. Another caliphate? Surely you jest? Chinese authoritarianism? Are you kidding? WEF are just going to start throwing out memos and expect the rest of us to kowtow? Fat chance, so just what is the endgame?

    By "we", I assume you mean the United States and the US is NOT currently fighting in the Ukraine.

    WE are furnishing the arms and equipment, Ukraine would already have lost without them. And the Ukraine can only win now it Nato starts to send in Troops. Meaning essentially the US.

    One does not have to be a general to read the righting on the wall. Just have their eyes and ears open or in this case be able to actually count.

    it's really simple.

    It's a war of attrition.

    America, whose resources are vastly superior to Russia's, is just hanging in there until Russia can't stand it any longer and give up.

    they did this in Afghanistan.

    But, so did we.

    Given that we did, Russia has the same strategy we have, hanging in their until we give up, then they can rush in.

    However, the difference is we are not in Ukraine, they are.

    They are bearing the cost far more than we are, so we have the advantage.

    Every day that Ukraine successfully resists it weakens the Russian Federation and their economy. Is that not in our interests?

    And kills some more Ukrainians. And leaves us less ammunition to tend to other fronts should they occur.
