President Biden’s support for the Ukrainian war effort continues to be just enough for Ukraine to survive, but not enough for it to win. For Ukraine, this is like treading water wearing a 25 lb. life preserver. All your energy is required just to stay afloat; nothing is left to swim ashore.
When will the president start listening to his generals — his own military advisers? One can only assume the advice he is acting on is coming from the likes of national security advisor Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken or former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice.
I do agree the US could do more, and I hope we do, but so could literally all of Europe.
I read a while ago that the US supposedly had a very high chance of winning a war vs the entire rest of the world at once by itself. The US is truly ridiculous in the scope of its military and spending on said military compared to everyone else. European countries have laughable capabilities in comparison.
The military industrial complex is insane. Should be cut in half if not more in the US. This one time though, it should be leveraged for good while it's there....
