This is exhibit "A" of how the U.S. fights it's proxy wars.
They could provide enough support to kick the shit out of Russia.
But, the World politics doesn't fit that twisted & ridiculous narrative.
I'm not a conspiracy type. However, it makes ZERO sense to me that the U.S. hasn't provided everything possible to push Russia out.
IMO: actual full U.S. support pushing the limits of "war", would end this insanity in short order.
Israel
China
Venezuela getting prepared to invade one of its neighbors.
Couple of nations in Africa are getting ready to go to war too, I forget what the name of it was, Uganda? They're wanting to get a path to the ocean.
The United States needs to be ready not only to fight in Ukraine, but also about four other places in the world right now. I'm in full support of giving them everything possible, but there's a lot of valid reason not to go full of ham.
I believe you are thinking of Ethiopia going to war with Eritrea. Eritrea recently gained independence from Ethiopia and now the Ethiopians want a sea port again. Watch that turn into an Iran vs USA proxy war too.
Compare with the level of support israel has got. You can be certain people in Ukraine are.
I've been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.
He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.
It's bizarre & frustrating. It's crystal clear that NATO countries or EU countries could provide the support to help Ukraine kick the shit out of Russia.
My brain hurts wondering why it hasn't happen. This shit really makes me believe in some type of stupid crap like Illuminati ๐
Didn't see you reply but typed something very similar. We train the Ukraine army for combined arm warfare then we don't supply them the combined arms. It's like we want it to drag out.
