This totally sucks for Ukraine- but still a great ROI and easy way to kill Russians.

I want Ukraine to win; fund them at 3x current levels.

Russians are like the worst people on the planet with those whacko ISIS groups.
The more dead of them both the better for the civilized world.
This is simply an investment to diminish the barbarian horde known as Russia. Money well spent.

Only if you assign the Ukrainian dead the value of zero.

I want Ukraine to win and am no fan of Putin or authoritarian dictatorships - However I take no joy in anyone being killed. - many of the Russians don’t want to fight either. Many of them have family members on either side.

It is important to maintain commitment to Just War theory principles (Ukraine does meet those criteria as it is acting in self defense and they have tried to minimize civilian casualties from what I read).

I hope the US and EU can help Ukraine to end this terrible war as quickly as possible, and that Ukraine is able to rebuild and make their lands safe from mines again.

I hope the millions of Ukranian women and children who had to flee can return to their homeland soon

Most of the Russian soldiers are there for the money. It tends to be poor men from the hinterlands. The elite in Moscow are not fighting. If you watch any of the absolutely brutal footage from this war, it's not men from Moscow. But Russians from elsewhere that are getting absolutely destroyed. At this moment in time it would be Avdiivka. Its thousands and thousands of dead Russians. And prior it would have been Bakhmut. Prigzhen himself, the head of Wagner, said he lost 20,000 in Bakhmut alone. Add in Marinka. And the absolutely catastrophe for the VDV - special forces - at Hostomel.

Russian men are dying by the thousands in Ukraine. Every day.

And Russians seem to be okey-dokey with that. Very weird people. Don't claim to understand why Russians think this is acceptable.

But Ukrainians are having a hard time too. They are confronted by an invading country that's four times bigger than them and generally regarded as the second most powerful military in the world. They've been able to take back a good deal of Russian gains - Kharkiv, Kherson, not to mention north and central Ukraine when the Russians went for Kviv. But Ukrainians are suffering. This is a very hard war.

Russians are willing to lose hundreds of thousands of men. It's absolutely bonkers. I mean how do you fight against suicidal people, particularly when they have nearly 4 times the population.

In the longterm, Russia is absolutely wrecked. Their demographics are terrible. They've lost an entire generation of young men. Most of their military hardware is gone now. Literally, thousands of tanks. It's breathtaking how little Russians care for human life and their own strategic interests.

I mean Poland would absolutely destroy Russia if they ever crossed the border.

But this is a tough time for Ukraine. They are on the defense. Not supplying them is just heartbreaking. They are obviously very good fighters. But Republicans are what they are. Pro-Russian. Same with the far left. They seem to love Hamas, but not Ukraine.

The situation is tragic.

It is a very good argument, however, for the necessity of air dominance. The US would never fight this kind of war

Wouldn't that be doubly true for Ukraine, though? Except to make things worse, their women are in Europe with no plans to return.

Yes, but Ukrainians are on the defense.

They tried a summer offensive. But the minefields and the dialed in artillery destroyed them.

I mean imagine everything between Maryland and Maine being mined. And the artillery.

That's what Ukraine is dealing with.

It's unwindable without air power. And even F-16s aren't going to do it. They're fourth generation fighters. It's not F-22s and F-35s. They can be shot down.

It's a war of attrition now, and without the US supplying shells and ammo, Ukraine loses. Russia is four times bigger and they are willing to die for this.

But Ukrainian officers do seem very inclined to preserve their troops. Unlike their Russian counterparts. But none of this really matters.

The situation sucks for Ukrainians. And Russians are willing to suffer absolutely enormous casualties. They started with an army of 360,000 solderers. They've lost more than 315,000 of them. It's absolutely nuts what Russians are willing to endure for this.

Russian men seem very willing to die horrible deaths.

That's the problem.
