My 2 cents… perhaps it’s too cynical or political, but with this Whitehouse crew, I don’t think that’s possible.
All the Biden Administration cares about in Ukraine is delaying a disaster until after Election Day, or laying the blame on the Republicans.
The big question is can Ukraine survive another 8 months?
The muddy season, rasputitsa, is coming, so that should slow down the war for 3-8 weeks.
And then October / November is the most rainy season.
The Russian advance is slow, but steady. Western / NATO ISR means mass formations are just huge targets. So advances are done with massive fire power and small units, while doing aggressive attrition to Ukraine units.
With logistic issues, the key question is how fast can the Russians safely advance keeping resupplied, while keeping a low casualty rate.
With the self decapitation of the Ukrainian armed forces, replacing them with Zelensky loyalists the danger of a coup seems reduced.
The U.S., France, and U.K have the view that Russia can’t be allowed to win. And Europe is doing their utmost to support Ukraine, but their armories are empty.
My guess is they will ratchet up the economic war, more attacks within Russia, more seaborne attacks on Russian ships (only thing positive for Ukraine), and more wonder Weapons to Ukraine. And hope General mud slows the Russian advance through Election Day.
Gaza is a drain of U.S. resources that would be going to Ukraine.
And what of Haiti? It’s a situation begging for a U.S. intervention.
They are both missing how the West is committing suicide economically due to an internal culture war. Without a strong economy, you can’t have a strong military.
This is also going back to the belief of the U.S. being the world’s policeman spreading the approved version of democracy and the correct beliefs, while making sure our Allie’s play nice.
On the nuke issue with Iran, it’s done. I’m sure Iran could build a working nuke quickly, if they wanted too.
And the U.S. betrayal of our agreement with Khadify, if he gives up nukes we won’t invade him, showed the U.S. can’t be trusted.
And Iraq showed if you have nukes, you won’t be invaded. Ukraine supposedly could not unlock the nukes on their territory.
Looking at the sliming Tucker got over his Putin interview, I’m not surprised at the fear of those in Congress.
Plus what happened to Trump with Russiagate is probably also a factor. I fear U.S. Russian relations have been poisoned by the amazing dirty trick Hillary did of Russiagate.
Read this last night and decided to sleep on it until now. I guess I'm kind of Mearsheimer'd out. Seems he speaks doublespeak so often. IDK.
Just to prove my point on how cynical and political this Whitehouse crew is. Newest Biden Adv.
What a disgraceful, disgusting ad.
The real polls must be really bad if they feel the need to go this negative this early.
Sliming Trump with Racism. Obviously aimed to motivate the female and Black Vote.

Reeks of desperation. Probably the only public exposure for awhile and so the need to "milk it".
May be also trying to stop any talk of Biden being dumped.
Yes, the re-invigorated President...

watched that yesterday. Sobering and inspiring.
I knew that!

Agree 100%.
And I’m sure Trump bears a grudge on being impeached on Ukraine.
I seem to remember a number of “right-wingers” — especially “on The Hill” — sliming him too.
