re: Russia prolonging Ukraine war

I thought we were only sending our near expiration equipment and was needing the money to resupply or stock with newer equipment.

But in hindsight, a similar thing happened in the 1980’s, the USSR spent billions on Afghanistan in a stalemate/proxy war with America. Eventually, the USSR bankrupted itself and fell from within. I have a suspicion that Russia is trying the same policy to extend the conflict as long as possible to strain US military spending or to test the US military response.

Right now, it feels like an ongoing situation like Vietnam with no solution in sight but at least there are no US official boots on the ground.

There needs to be more talk of ending the stalemate instead of just throwing money and weapons at it.

What? This is not a real Take. Dishonest with yourself. Bankrupt the US over the Ukraine war? Not even worth getting into. Russia didn't go down because of Afghanistan in the slightest. Chornobyl really helped to do them in. If you think the US is going to have big issues with this war financially, how about the country that has collapsed 3 times last century? Who's ruble is worth 1.1 cents and is only going to get worse?

Afghanistan, Vietnam, No End in sight? If it's as bad as you say russia is soon to collapse any day now.

Your post reads like a how-to-do of how to defeat russia without losing a single American life. Let them fight a quagmire they are never going to win and fail financially amongst many other ways.

Come on seriously?
