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.

    The major issue is Ukraine has a much smaller population. They cannot sustain the losses even if they are half of Russia.

    But the losses so far are roughly proportionally equal.

    General Milley has stated he thinks the losses are about equal, which would be devastating for Ukraine.

    Proportionally equal.

    NATO is having a hard time keeping up the production to support Ukraine.

    It’s war. It sucks. That’s just how it is.

    But if a struggling supply chain means that Russia can’t do as many war crimes and rapes, I’m ok with that.

    Ukraine can’t win a war of attrition.

    Russia thought they’d collapse within weeks. Ukraine has surpassed the wildest expectations.

      According to Milley; they’re almost the same. That’s not good for Ukraine as Russia has a much larger population

      Not sure you understand the issue. It means Ukraine is going to run out of ammo and won’t be able to fight back. Ukraine is consuming more ammo than nato can produce. After years of democrats cutting defense. We don’t have the capability to fight a real war. With the more advanced systems, we can’t just spin up a factory overnight. It’s a serious issue.
