I noticed some cooling down towards Ukraine in our media. When this started they were falling over each other to kiss Zelensky rear end. Not so much now. There are also massive protests in Europe against NATO and EU with calls to stay out of this conflict and end costly sanctions.

U.S. to Send More Than $2.6 Billion in Ukraine-Related Military Aid — The Wall Street Journal
The funding takes total American military assistance to Ukraine over $15 billion under the Biden administrationstocks.apple.com
This war has turned into a real shit show. Russia and Ukraine have both lost a lot . And both are stalled for the moment . I do believe Russia may try one more push to capture Odessa before the snow comes . I cant even imagine trying to fight in the winter with all those dam drones, cameras, and satellites.
I never thought Ukraine would make it this far, hat tip to them.

Without munitions, drones, and Intel from the UN (US) they wouldn't have.
Probably would have been over months ago.
When would you stop fighting for your home? Goat herders in Afghanistan fought us for a decade - small arms against drones, satellites, and a military with a huge budget.... yet they are still there and we aren't. Even if Russia somehow "wins" they still lose. How do you govern a country full of people who hate you?

You kill them. How did We occupy Japan Germany since 1945? How did the NAZI's occupy Poland and France? How did Genghis Khan rule All of Asia? How did the Romans rule Europe for 2000 years? How did great Britain occupy countrys for century's? How did the US calm down the Indians?
The Answer is an Iron fist. Something the west doesn't do. The Russians can take and hold Ukraine .The tactics to do so may be more brutal than We are used to. This is not hard. if there is an active sector of guerrillas in an area . You tell the people to move into different sectors by a paticular date. anyone found inside this sector after such date will be deemed hostile . You keep doing this until they are all in one sector, Then deport every able bodied male or kill them .
However when this war is over, I believe both sides will breath a sigh of relief that it is . Its hard to believe that any Ukrainian will want to pursue more fighting after what the country and the individuals have been through. with a very small pool of able men left to boot.
The US never had the heart to win in Afghanistan nor probably the intention. they certainly had the army to do it . but they never sent them over. They never really tried to defeat them . they only wanted certain areas . They didnt want to commit to winning . They tried to do it on the cheap.
When Genghis Khan invaded present day Iraq. He told the king of Bagdad to surrender or He will kill every living thing in the city. Long story short, The king refused and the Mongols killed every living thing in the city except for a few people to go to the other citys and tell the tale.
The next city he demanded only tribute and food and water for his troops if they needed it other than that he would leave them alone to govern themselves. He took all of iraq without a fight . he did this other places too.

It won't end until we stop funding it.
First of all they are not fighting for their homes. They are fighting for a fairytale fed to them by outsiders and enforced by a puppet regime.
It's not upto evildoers from another hemisphere to fuck around with Ukrainian history and culture.
Second. U.S. foreign policy is based on hate mongering and distabalization of entire regions around the world to plunge them into chaos and gain control. Remember what happened to Yugoslavia. They call this promoting democracy and freedom.
At some point Ukrainian people will realized how they were used and sacrificed for geopolitical interests of far away power and will turn against it. Just like the Chechens.

Oh, so that explains why it's life as normal there then, because the Russians didn't invade, right?
If anyone believes many of them aren't fighting for the place they call home then that person is actually retarded.

Didn't work for the Russians in Afghanistan any better than it did for us.
To truly conquer Afghanistan you would need the stomach for genocide. Not even putin has that now. Xi maybe, but he'd rather just buy the place.

They didn't kill their opposition. Simple and effective. Genocide works.

You are sitting in the belly of self-proclaimed world organizer, where indoctrination and self-glorification replaced education and objective view of outside world. This war is not about one side taking from the other, like Indian wars in America or British colonial wars. This war is about getting rid of hostile influence and National Security.
Surprise, surprise, U.S. is not the only country that has National Security concerns. Unlike most of the conflicts we were involved in under the banner of defending our freedom, this one is real for Russia.
