Yeah, keep wishing for it. Just don't question why the gigantic country with the huge military, boundless natural resources and established war industry has barely made any progress in two years, against a neighbor a fraction of their size.

Even spent a good amount of the time that first year going backwards. After a fucking surprise attack, even.

edit: thinkgs->things

You do have a point on that.

I think these views are still important so as not to be in the US military propaganda bubble.

Always good to listen to diversity of ideas, so that we can use our brains and do a bit of criticial thinking, and not just listen to things we agree with.

At least that is what I try to do, thanks for sharing your point of view!

The US military isn't involved in Ukraine. We know this, because there are still Russians in Ukraine.

The Ukrainians have been holding off Russia for two years, using spare parts and out dated Western equipment. The only reason they're still in a conflict is the threat of nukes. Otherwise Putin would be lined up next to Hussein and Gadddafi.
