What would happen if we completely got out of Russia Ukraine conflict?

Nothing. Let them two deal with it and may the best country win. Tell them both to frick off

Russia conquers the whole country.

Then the genocide begins. Expect the political leadership to be captured and probably executed. Top generals? Executed. Soldiers? Executed. Don't think Putin would not do it.

Expect Putin to forcibly if necessary move ethnic Russians into all of Ukraine as Stalin did the Baltics.

Russia would probably prevail...but what then?

Would Russia just take the areas they've demanded, and leave Ukraine alone?

Russia is in the most favorable position to annex the Russia-sympathetic eastern Ukrainian territories. If they advance any further than that, they certainly end up in direct conflict with NATO boots on the ground. Russia has already won, but Ukraine has admirably put up one hell of a fight with Western armaments and support, and the reds would be beaten senseless in a full scale ground war against the West.

How would the US be hurt by that

In the above scenario? We aren't affected much, if at all. Ukraine has become an international money laundering machine for the globohomo establishment and the more of that country the Russians control, the less the Soros cabal controls. That's a win-win.

The war would end. The EU can't afford it's own defense without the US paying our fair share to NATO, much less supplying Ukraine with weapons and money. If the EU would start spending thier fair share, the couldn't afford thier massive welfare support for their illegals. The mud people would revolt!

Trump is fricking this up. He should withdraw from NATO and stop funding Ukraines military, government, and government services.
It's totally unacceptable that our tax dollars continue to fund Ukrainian government and basic services. frick that. THAT isn't what I voted for.

Realistically? There are good things that would happen and some bad things.

The good things is that it would save us a few dollars on the front end, but the bad is that it would probably cost us a lot more on the back end.

I argue Russia is too far in and too weak to finish the deal; they aren't taking over the Ukraine - they don't have the manpower, resources, leadership, will, etc. So, the Ukrainians will continue to kick the hell out of them for some time, and we hold on to 30-year-old Bradley's with half a dozen combat tours that have no real other practical value for us while we continue to pay for their maintenance, upkeep, housing, etc. costing us taxpayer money. So, we save a few bucks and the bad guys still lose.

The bad part is that the killing goes on even longer, something Trump has repeated over and over that he wants to stop, we pass on what could become a key ally in the long run, the Europeans and NATO allies get pissed at us because we aren't acknowledging an obvious threat, and the partnership, politically, militarily, economically, starts to chafe and that costs us hundreds of billions - potentially trillions - of dollars in the long run. I argue that we're stepping over dollars to get to pennies.

TLDR: Russia loses in the short run, something that was going to happen anyway, and we lose in the long run.

I agree with this. Russia doesn't seem like a threat to take over European territory and I don't think they ever wanted to do that. I don't think they ever intended to launch a ground war into Europe because it was a war that Putin knew he couldn't win and didn't want to fight. More likely he wanted to stop Ukraine from entering NATO and didn't want to lose access to Crimea. Which leads me to this.

Which key ally? And what obvious threat are we not acknowledging? The threat to the US is fighting and financing a war we can't afford and shouldn't be involved in. Our days of being able to police the world are over. What Europe seems to be doing is dragging the US into a war outside of NATO. If fighting and funding non-NATO wars that are not in the US national security interest is the cost of being in the alliance, our membership deserves introspection.

I thought Trump pulled all of Ukraine's funding??

Not my problem. We all hate death, but we are the USA, and not responsible for the world's conflicts
