It doesn’t matter how many long-range missiles we give to Ukraine. Those alone will not change any dynamic on the battlefield—any more than the previous entry of Western tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery pieces, air defense weapons, HIMARS systems, or even the vaunted F16s. The war is lost for Kyiv.
So let me get this straight, Ukraine will loose even more land of we give them more weapons? Lol okay.
These weapons are not going to change the direction of the war even as the US state department openly admits. What they will do is make the war last longer and ensure more people die. Hope that clears things up for you.
Giving more weapons and negotiating an end to the war are not mutually exclusive. Biden is Giving Ukraine their best hand possible before the US is likely to duck out.
Once again, since you appear to have trouble grappling with this concept. More weapons are not going to change the terms because the winner of the war will be dictating them. Either NATO goes and fights Russia directly, which is highly unlikely, or Russia will dictate terms to Ukraine. All these weapons are achieving is to ensure more Ukrainians die in a pointless war, which seems to give a hard on to people like you.
Well since Russia wants to enslave people it seems better to die on your feet.
Enslave… where do people come up with this shit?
Well they came and took the land, killed the people and stole the children. Putin can get fucked.
“Stole” the children for what, their organs?
Learn about the demographics of Ukraine you imbecile.

Yep, that’s evidenced by statements going back to 2022 by senior US officials (including John Kirby himself at one point I believe) stating that even if Russia used a tactical nuke within Ukraine, we would not respond with direct military intervention.

So if the use of nuclear weapons isn’t a red line, then what is? And back to your point, what’s the point of continuing this war if we’re not going to intervene and it’s only going to result in my Ukranian deaths? Personally, I think that the answer has been clear from the beginning. We’re willing to use the Ukranian people as fodder to dwindle Russia’s resources.
RAND explained the key reason for the war here fairly honestly https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
I’d argue that Europe decoupling economically from the east and falling further into US orbit was a secondary objective that’s now been achieved https://www.voronoiapp.com/trade/-US-Becomes-Leading-EU-Trade-Partner-Surpassing-China-and-Russia-3073
I like how they say their own research is Russian propaganda now.
🤣
