the US gave them how many billions? he thinks he gets to say no? :francis:
The US gave loans and outdated military equipment. The vast majority of billions was spent in the US to jump start our arms manufacturing. Most of the money and arms never made it to Ukraine. Zelenskyy can certainly say no especially if Europe steps up and he already has. Nobody is afraid of Trump. He will back pedal just like he back pedaled on tariffs.

no one provided anywhere close to the materiel support that the US did.

in all of these recent conflicts, europe as a whole has proved they're good for nothing but showing up with meager support after the fact and posturing heavily in the meantime. germany and france can certainly act like this a ship they'll steer tho

No, but it wasn’t what it was made out to be either.

You know how it is, same in Afghanistan and Iraq - we sent blah blah billions - most of that money stays in house

Yep you’re right. Hopefully actual fear forces them to respond.

AND:heh:?!

Imagine this: you get jumped by 2 big ass dudes in your home while a 3rd ransacks the place. Suddenly, a dude comes and throws you a shovel, then a knife, then a gun. You fight them off, but know they'll be back with a 4th dude, and ALL them níggas will be strapped.

Dude who throws you the gun then asks to have ownership over half of your property while repairing zero of the damages.

With that scenario in mind, would YOU say yes to that:heh:?

I think you guys are stuck on what you'd like to happen versus what's actually been happening plus the only ways this could've ended.

In no way was all of this support going to end with indifference towards US demands or goals - whether it be for the weapons in conflict or the reconstruction afterwards. Even had Ukraine won the dream scenario, the US would still have them on the hook and every single discussion or request for additional resourcing had to have been in consideration of dialogue as well. Its not like Ukraine can continue to fight without exorbitant support or continue to expect solid escalation deterrence with only mildly invested partners in agreement.

If this were a true "put yourself in those shoes" situation, the only response as a leader can be to not degrade outcomes beyond your ability to control them.

The already minuscule Russian advances in Donbas have further slowed down. In the last 3 weeks Russians took not more than 23 square kilometers, or in other words, around 1 square kilometer per day.

On top of that, Russian bloggers reported that Ukrainian drones absolute dominate the skies of Pokrovsk. Russian vehicles are getting methodically destroyed and cannot be effectively used, to an extent that Russian human material needs to be disembarked at spots more than 10 kilometers from the front line. The rest they walk on foot. Many if not most of them don't make it alive to the contact line. It even enabled Ukrainians forces to partially reverse Russian gains in the Pokrovsk sector.

They will extend to the west, form a wider base and will try again.

All they need is 100 attacks a day and about 50k ivanz in expenses.

The war in Ukraine is like WW1. At lot of death and misery without much progress on the front.

Ukraine has literally thrown everything at Pokrovsk at the expense of other parts of the front where Russia is on the move.

Are you still trying to convince us that ukraine is not losing?

@maeotian_blue
We need to see some Ukrainian gains also. Maybe in the Kursk area, if not in the Donbas region.



17/21
@NAFOvoyager
Yeah, but yesterday marked the most challenging day on the front lines in 2025, with Ukrainian forces reporting 261 combat engagements since the start of the day.

The primary surge in enemy activity was observed in the Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Velyka Novosilka directions.

Ukraine can’t win for the same reason that Japan couldn’t beat us in WW2. Because we had nukes and they didn’t.

This is the way.

@Chrisk7Chris
Evidence starting to emerge on a daily basis that Ukraine’s tactic of attrition combined with flexible and smart defensive actions was the perfect strategy for 2023 and 2024. If this continues then 2025 could well be the final nail in the Putin coffin.

Fukin happy to see that Ukraine shows no mercy for Russia I hate Russia they have plenty of land plenty of natural resources. It seems like Putin is just killing people for fun. I hope the killing lands on his doorstep and Ukraine drags his ass out into the street and they beat the fukk out of him

Then, sentenced to execution to see there is such a thing as justice in this world. Otherwise, blow his fukkin' head off!
