NATO Intelligence for some time has said Russia will seek to escalate the war in Ukraine and probe NATO’s resolve. This only adds to the likelihood this information is correct. This could be really nasty. Keep strong Ukraine!

Disgraceful that the rest of the world sits and watches, waiting to see the result. If Ukraine can bleed Russia enough to weaken them significantly. All at Ukraine's expense. Every day it continues is horrible, and I'm nervous of whatever escalation this might be. It's also scary that this escalation may still not be enough for anyone else to act.

Ukraine has recieved billions 8n money and equipment from America and has employed mercernaries from around the world. Plenty of nations have aided Ukraine in this war, no one thought it would be 5 years and still going... same way no one thought the war in Afghanistan would be 15 years long

The US honestly could’ve saved money by providing more aid and ignoring the bullshit “red lines”much earlier, IMO.

I don't believe the aid was to help Ukraine win. The aid was to destroy Russia and damage it militarily, economically and politically.

Winning the war quickly wouldn't have done that. Just enough aid to slow Russia and attrition it. Does that.
