The problem the west has is that you can’t print physical things like artillery shells or create soldiers out of thin air. Ukraine’s capacity to fight has been degraded to a point where the front is now collapsing, and no amount of money is going to change that.
Hope you’re right but the bombs don’t have to come out of thin air if that $8B just goes straight to Lockheed and Haliburton ukraine is going to keep getting enough arms to justify continuing to fight for a little longer.
I’m also gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say ukraine also doesn’t wanna end the war because I’m pretty sure the reason zelensky keeps complaining all the money we send isn’t enough is because 50% is getting lost in the couch cushions of Ukranian officials overseeing the war. The checks keep cashing and there’s zero percent chance them or their families sees combat so why stop now.
NATO military production is actually much less than the rate they have been losing in Ukraine alone and they have also been using up reserves meant for the NATO nations. Due to the bloat of their system, they won’t be able to build and equip enough factories to get their production to a point to keep up with their losses or rebuild reserves for 5 years at least and I give Ukraine another year at best.
You’re right about zelensky, same situation as netanyahu, but the way that ends is that someone internally will coup them and if they can escape they get to retire in Florida.
