I don't know.
You said the US have zero interest in ending the war. I'm just pointing out that thats a million miles from the truth.
The last thing America wants to do is bankroll an endless proxy war with Putin.
I disagree. They may have a problem with funding wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan as they are weaklings with no serious geopolitical threat

The loss of face would be too great with another global power. they cannot afford to just walk away.

Unsure about that evaluation. You may need to research your thoughts further. Russia is exposed for being a despot nation and will need to be curtailed. I do agree it only means removing any existence of Russian troops in Ukraine. They don't want Russia to be decimated completely by attacking them directly on their turf and Russia knows this. US knows Russia will have at least a lost decade which they will be limited to cause more havoc.

I never said they want to walk away.
Christ.

It's a cash drain and the longer it goes on the less politically popular it's becoming, especially heading in to an election year.

maybe so but the longer the war goes on, the less political appetite there will be for funding it.

I can see that but in the whole scheme of things the cost is insignificant compared to the destruction of Russian equipment and future economic struggles. I would also suggest manpower, but they could easily get 500k eager North Koreans to fight after their elite units are decimated.
 
She'd be very popular with the rank and file of the party, for sure. Would she hack it in a presidential race...
Guaranteed she would open up the borders and freely let all the migrants in. Take on Bernie as running mate what else could go wrong? The politico's in Washington are all sadly anemic. They need some whippersnappers with some vision. This is coming from an old fart Boomer.
 
and? the upshot of that is?
what do you mean?
You were implying that America wants to prolong the war as it is in their interest.
I dont think thats true.
The upshot for America is that the American tax payer is on the hook for a proxy war with Putin.
It's not as unpopular as boots on the ground but soon it wont be far off. Putin is counting on this.

no chance.
A large chunk of Americans believe she's a literal communist. Like not just socialist tendencies but straight up communist.
And another large chunk believe that the first large chunk have to be heard and considered.
Just look at Tennessee blue who guarantees that she'd open the borders and let every migrant in. Absolute nonsense.

Nothing wrong with anting to abolish a racist organisation though.

Food for thought perhaps. Just last Friday.


Or back in 2019.

It looks like a centre-left Labour policies she advocates to me...when centre-left in Labour meant progressive policies rather than now when centre-left means just to the left of Attila the Hun.
