And take his orange american stooge with him too.
Keep watching, if it happens then Ukraine won't get a mention and it'll be another place forgotten about.
It's over for Ukraine regardless, It's been obvious since the start and said numerous times that NATO will only supply Ukraine until it's obvious that Russia pose no threat to other countries, that point has likley been reached, it will take Russia a generation to replace lost equipment and that's if sanctions are lifted.
Fair assessment. Depressing but fair.
It probably is. Zaluzhnyi wanted them out weeks ago. The new guy gave the order to pull out a day after the evacuation started and allowed a barrel shoot for the Russians.
in what way? do you think we should stop helping the Ukies or?
American oil and LNG companies have made a fortune from this war. European citizens (and businesses) are suffering a fall in living standards as a result of higher energy costs. The idea that Europe should now expropriate frozen Russian assets - the vast majority of which are held by European countries - and spend it on reconstructing Ukraine is fantastically self-serving for the US. They are barely exposed at all - and therefore the inevitable Russian retaliation will further hit Europe and not the US. On top of that, the damage it would do to Europe's credibility in finance markets is incalculable. Will we be expropriating Israeli assets too? Oh, they're not even frozen, currently... At some point, Europeans need to smell the heather.
It'd definitely be a gamble but a calculated one. I'm sure that many analysts will have it that a Russian/Putin victory would the worst possible outcome for the world/democracy. And let's be clear, that is what is on the table here.
