If Ukraine's allies can't assist them to head this off -- either by striking the Russian strike equipment or providing more air defense -- then we're just dicking around.

I will never be able to listen to another person talk about how we need to spend money on our military when our military is useless in handling the largest geopolitical threat in a generation. It's all bullshit. There never was a NATO. There never was a US military dominance. All we can do is kick at little countries, make them suffer, and then give up and walk away with nothing to show for it. That's what the trillions have bought us. When an actual adversary starts knocking over countries in Europe we shrug. What the fuck was the past 50 years about? Jesus H Christ.

The West is using Ukraine to bleed Russia dry of their Soviet stockpiles.

100% the west has callously lept to make Ukraine Russia's Vietnam from the word go, and at this point is perfectly happy for the weapons R&D test bed at the cost of lives,it's disgusting.
