      Yeah, we’re gonna get eased into a withdrawal of support

      Most likely not before elections though

      Course, if things go pear-shaped enough, it could happen sooner

      Americans hate backing a loser, so we’ll just deny ever losing

      The US media hates the US looking weak, which is why they never forgave Biden for Afghanistan. If throwing money at Ukraine seems like a loser move to a broad swathe of the popular, support is going to wane.

    Some Western-trained brigades have even started to abandon US-taught tactics because they have proved ineffective, The New York Times reported earlier this month.

    Instead of attacking Russian positions head-on using complicated Western-military maneuvers, many Ukrainian service members have resorted to artillery and missile barrages, the Times said.

    hahaha

      lmao “complicated western military maneuvers” as if the US military doesn’t just do airstrikes, I assume artillery is the next best thing.

      US can’t help but be racist towards slavic people apparently.
