Our Loser President is bankrolling the losing side in a war, and everyone knows it.

It’s amazing to me how certain the pro Russia and pro Ukraine sides are in the outcome.
War is never certain. The USSR was initially crushed by little Finland in the winter offensive in late 1930s, but eventually beat smaller Finland the next spring.
Poland faced the might of the USSR in the early 1920s alone. All odds were against the Poles, but in a miraculous turn of events the Poles defeated the Russians and pushed them back over the border.
What will happen with the Ukrainian war? I don’t know. But they have outperformed Finland so far. Will they equal the Poles? I’m not putting my money on it, but I’m also not putting my money against them either.
Only God knows, and only time will tell.

There might be some clues/perspectives on this by contrasting the dedication and performance level of one group fighting for their very existence and traditions, along with a gut-level resolve to never again be under the yoke of the Hammer and Sickle with that of the other group.
A group made up of those who have been yanked from their families, fiancées, friends, jobs to satisfy the hallucinations and aggression of an armchair irredentist black Russian Bolshevik Mongol devotee of Lenin.
Why even if Russia "wins" they'll never be able to pacify the target region(s), no matter how long they occupy them.
Even their 1917 forebears reached the point that they realized they couldn't kill enough people to get them "to heel."
If they win, maybe they'll eventually have to incur the services of the neo-marxists to come in and attempt to do it from within bloodlessly- as was once before set in motion originally by Lenin.
But unlike the soft West, the newcomers would find it significantly more difficult to accomplish in Eastern Europe.

Over 80% of the Donbas voted to leave Russia in 1991. Even Crimea voted almost 2/3 to leave. NATO expansion is also a dogshit excuse. Only 40% of Ukrainians wanted to join NATO even after the 2014 invasion. It's now 81%, flipped like FInland's population did after seeing Russian aggression had gotten a helluva a lot worse.

so 32 years ago?
32 years' worth of people being born and dying, a generation and a half
The US electorate didn't change at all between 1988 and 2020 did it?

What about our aggression in 2014 with the Maidan color revolution?
Aggression against who? If you don't think Maidan had popular support and Russia wasn't intervening in Ukrainian affairs you are a moron. What happened in Crimea you dolt?
quote:
I'd say installing CIA approved people to run the Russians neighbor was fairly aggressive.
Fairly aggressive isn't an invasion across internationally recognized borders for regime change.

Because without it, this isn't happening.
Russia has been intervening in its neighbors for centuries. Communist apologist are immoral.

Picture everything we did in Ukraine being done by say, Russia or China in Mexico.
We'd have scorched Mexico to the core immediately. The only reason we pulled off the Maidan coup is because they didn't believe we were serious this time. They didn't fear Obama.
Yes. You are correct that Russia has been meddling in it's neighbors for centuries. Which is why what we did to provoke this was so easily predicted as far as the results were concerned.
You ever hear of the Monroe Doctrine? You should check that one out. Russia has legitimate reasons to fear us pulling NATO up to it's largest border that also happens to be the path to Moscow if you're rolling that way. This war was provoked. By us. Watch Biden smirking when asked questions about it and you know...
