    I am not a military strategist so I will refrain from proposing “paths forward” for what is obviously going to be a drawn-out battle against well entrenched Russian defenses. I’d recommend Perun’s latest video if you really care (though I haven’t found the time to watch it yet, but he goes REALLY in depth about big picture strategies).

    Regardless, as long as the Ukrainian government asks for more weapons, I say we provide those. Seems like a simple enough request to fulfill, especially when they are the ones carrying the risks and paying for it with their lives, so again, who the fuck are we to say “nuh-uh, stop, it’s too difficult for you”.

      I appreciate the recommendation. I’ll put it on tonight when I do my exercises. I respect your position, it’s more nuanced than most people I’ve had similar discussions with. I hope whatever happens, peace comes sooner than later.
