i've said it again and will say it now. if western leaders would have given what they now have given to ukraine, but in 2022, then this war would be over with a solid ukrainian victory. it was in late 2022 that russia was weak and could be exploited but we were buying into russia's red lines and our fifth columnists who wanted to "give peace a chance".  even then, our indecisiveness fucked up the ukrainian summer offensive in 2023, where they supplied leopards but didn't supply fucking atacms or f-16s to counter the ka-52's before waaaay later. and now it is late 2024 and they are now at risk due to the uncertainty of a trump presidency. the only good thing about this is that russia's war economy is about to overheat and that putin will die one day, collapsing his house of cards and hopefully russian society until then. ukraine just gotta hold out until that time.
