Changing the topic; what is the U. S. endgame in Ukraine?
Stay the course until all fighting age Russian men are killed? Not going to happen.
Stay the course until Putin gets frustrated and surrenders? Not going to happen.
Stay the course until Putin runs out of money? Not going to happen. India, China, Pakistan and an increasing number of countries will buy Russian oil and gas.
Negotiated settlement? Won’t be worth the paper it’s written on. It would only be a matter of time until Putin violates the treaty.
Kind of feel like this is not NATO’s call to make, but Ukrain’s. Broadly speaking, we should support them fighting as long as they are willing to fight, and if they come to a negotiated settlement, we should support them there too.
Could be a while.

Interesting thread about Russian weapons, and why they are not being used to full capacity.
