  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias.

This has been a hot topic for conservatives. I fully support Ukraine, but at some point, they have to say they can't push Russia out. Ukraine does not have the manpower or firepower to dislodge Russia. They've tried and failed. Western support is starting to go down because they have not made progress.

I don't know the solution, but right now, it's just a war of attrition, and Ukraine loses in that scenario. I suspect this will be a big topic of discussion during the presidential debates.

Conservatives are sabotaging Ukraine's efforts by not giving them every thing they need right now? That is a very entitled attitude.

The question is how much does funding a proxy war against Russia help the US. For some the bemifits have outweighed the costs, for others it is a holy crusade and no cost is too great.

I fully support Ukraine, but at some point, you have to say they are up shit creek. They lost the counter-offensive, we can't keep up with their demand for ammunition. If they keep at this rate, they will collapse. If China were to invade Taiwan or North Korea to invade South Korea, we wouldn't be able to put up a solid defense since we have given away so much ammo.
