Your man is gonna fuck them because they wouldn't help him steal the last election. Simple as that. As far as ukraine being incapable of winning without western support..we seem to have forgotten that the 40km convoy was crushed by sof and partisans on dirtbikes and welders back in the cities making hedgehogs. That the invasion was over before it began at the battle for hostomel airport. That ukranian drones are the apex predator on the battlefield...which is now deep into russian territory.
It's in americans interests, even cynically, to help ukraine finish the job. It's certainly in corporatists and oligarchs interests to hand them over to putin. Who we putting first on day one?
It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's size of the fight in in the dog. A good year before aid started flowing, the Ukrainians showed the essence of FAFO.
