Absolutely an unimaginative & incorrect take and here's why:
1. The entire affair provides cover for continued operations against Russia without great power escalation. Hopefully Putin doubles down and loses even more military assets. If you don't understand this point take a day or two to think it through.
2. Ukraine cannot win (its objectives) this war without Western troops at some point & that's been clear since the start. US objectives have been met, with Russia unable to mount a conventional threat to Europe; with its hardware now discredited against Western weapons - much to the dismay of the Sino-Russia-Iranian axis; and with European underspending on defense & overreliance on Russian energy now reversing.
3. Get used to the new USA. We are going to very publicly assert our power and by doing so hopefully deter war in Asia.
Anyone who doesn't understand 1-3 needs to meditate on this and grow a pair.
- stirlo 2y agoGoing to deter war in Asia by simply telling China, go for it, take Taiwan and the whole 9 dash line? That’s not deterring war, it’s appeasement. Ask the great European powers (and eventually the US) how that worked against Hitler…
- TylerE 2y agoHorrible take. We’ve just told every supposed ally of ours that they can’t trust us. Trump just single handedly set back International relations by over a hundred years. All that post WW2 good will and trust just went poof. You think Germany or France is going to support us after this?
