  • As long as russia can keep pushing forward, they won’t care about losses. Even by UAF’s own admission, they will probably be forced to abandon Avdiivka in 2 months or so at the current rate of things.

    The real important question is whether the western political climate turns for the better or worse. If Ukraine would get all the aid it needs and start pushing back, that’d be a whole different situation; but if the aid ebbs, this can turn into another finnish winter war where Russia gets away with annexing a bunch of territory.







  • USA being “world police” is more of a meme than an actual thing. The policing USA does is more to ensure its own soft power and control over the global economy, and not actually taking a principled stand based on morals. Even the current Ukraine adventure is more a game to destroy the russian war machine than to save Ukraine, keeping Ukraine free and independent is more of a side-effect. Not that the EU is much better, I feel the EU is more afraid of bordering russia than genuinely helping Ukraine stay independent.
