It's what I see happening, not what I hope happens.
Well, there's at least three people here who are pretty well-informed about this stuff who are telling you that Russia is not this invincible beast of a nation and that this war will not end in their favor. Yet you would have Ukrainians unhappy with Russian occupation to simply move, because that country was strong enough to seize their homes by force?
Yeah, no. That's not how people work, and if Western aid is prolonging their fight to live as they wish, I say good. I'm sure you would say "Welp, okay" if someone came into your hometown and committed the atrocities the Russians have.
Me, I'd pick up a gun whether or not NATO was sending weapons, bullets, or tickets to Century 19's next premiere. Some things ae worth fighting for -- or against.
