Re: I think the way is to support Ukraine to win Nice in theory, now put that in practice. Care to share how to achieve that? Especially since Ukraine is running low on men. Should we (the West) send men to fight in Ukraine? What else would make a difference? Do we really want WW3? Ukraine is not doing great. Selective news selection, notwithstanding. They did occupy some territory in Kursk, did not help them much in the long run either. 'Denazification' means 'regime change', the western standard. Its just that the US is much better at it. We view Belarus as a total vassal of Putin. Still, there were/are no Belarusian soldiers fighting in Ukraine. That could not have been said about e.g. European soldiers in Afghanistan, or UK soldiers in Iraq. We keep insisting on Ukraine in NATO ... well, now it is not sure thing there will be a meaningful NATO around by the time the Ukraine war ends.

Ukraine has an 800k+ man army, and has rejected expansion of conscription to those under 27. They literally have everyone under 27 left to conscript. They're not facing a manpower shortage. That's Russian propaganda. No one is insisting on Ukraine in NATO. NATO has been continually refusing, officially and unofficially, membership for Ukraine because it's actively involved in a war. The NATO charter automatically rejects membership for any party actively engaged in hostilities, defensively or otherwise. Ukraine will never be in NATO unless it has an actual peace with Russia. Talk of Ukraine joining NATO is, again, Russian disinformation trying to blame NATO expansion for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
