Will they be willing to give up their own social welfare?I wonder if Euro countries will be more willing to increase defense spending now that till the last American life doesn't seem viable any longer.
given they can’t maintain the populaces support without them, no.Will they be willing to give up their own social welfare?
From a military POV, I'd say the Ukrainians may be trading space for time. I am not 100% sure of this, and the landing at Antonov airport along the Kiev ring road certainly is a pain in the arse for the Ukrainians to deal with. But, so far, I don't see any signs of general Ukrainian
collapse.
It's less about money but how it's managed, because Germany with its defense policy even with the US budget wouldn't fix it because frankly their army is strong on paper.I wonder if Euro countries will be more willing to increase defense spending now that till the last American life doesn't seem viable any longer.
So 5 in the morning?450 AM Ukraine time IIRC?

Then they can act passive aggressive about it with futile measures as Putin thumbs his noses at them.given they can’t maintain the populaces support without them, no.
Anything out of Sleepy Joe yet? Pretty much every major power has rejected immediate intervention except the US at this point, though I don't think I've head anything from France.
I haven't heard that, got a tweet?Apparently Kiev itself is under heavy attack now.
If I remember correctly, a Polish analyst, while presenting the Polish army of the future, said that in fact they can send two or three battalions to Poland within 48 hours. You would have to wait two or three months for a division. By that time the fun will be over.I don't think I've head anything from France.
They have been like this for a long time, already in the Polish-Bolshevik war a whole bunch of them were able to surrender to us even when they were attacking and winning. The other thing is that the Ukrainians are most likely to increase their numbers. Anyway, it doesn't matter, if Russians take them back anyway.Surprisingly large number of Russian POWs.
To be fair that is what we will do as well, the procedure since the Cold War as I said was no direct conflict between nuclear powers... unfortunately for Ukraine this was inevitable ever since they were dumb enough to return the Soviet nukes and take a promise that they would be protected in the event of war.Then they can act passive aggressive about it with futile measures as Putin thumbs his noses at them.
Big mistake for them.To be fair that is what we will do as well, the procedure since the Cold War as I said was no direct conflict between nuclear powers... unfortunately for Ukraine this was inevitable ever since they were dumb enough to return the Soviet nukes and take a promise that they would be protected in the event of war.
Even if you are winning why fight if it isn’t a cause you care about?They have been like this for a long time, already in the Polish-Bolshevik war a whole bunch of them were able to surrender to us even when they were attacking and winning. The other thing is that the Ukrainians are most likely to increase their numbers. Anyway, it doesn't matter, if Russians take them back anyway.
Wow this thing is not very well programmed, fails the turing test right out of the gate. But that's Russian programming for you...Pork chops!
