The bland discussion about Ukraine, the notion that they should consider giving up because they’re losing anyhow completely ignores the fact that they are actually winning. They have innovated incredibly with drone technology, and last week blew up an ammo depot creating an explosion, several times the size of Hiroshima depriving the Russians of a huge amount of war, material. They have done this again and again. In the last day or two they sent drones 1200 km into Russia to blow up a major refinery. They have been incredibly brave and smart, have pushed Russia back and are holding the line. Think what they could do with real assistance.

Russia’s economy is on the ropes and they have lost 800,000 men. That they have to import soldiers from North Korea is pathetic. They have also not any gained territory with all that loss of life.

This does not even address existential threat that Russian aggression poses to Europe. The attitude yeah sure we should do the right thing if we can is so shallow—the places that are taken back from Russia are full of mass Graves and torture chambers—that is what our privileged and uninformed American attitude would condemn Ukraine to.

Other facts worth mentioning are the Bucharest agreement in which Ukraine gave up its nukes and we guaranteed their security, as did Russia, who has now invaded and killed so many. So the Russians are liars that’s not news, but us too?

Geopolitically China loves what they’re seeing and is conducting war exercises off the coast of Australia.
