It's like every time there's a war everybody forgets how fucking long they take. WW2 took six years. The Vietnam War took almost 20 years, same with the Afghanistan War. Anybody expecting anything solid within the next couple years is delusional. Ukraine is in it for the long haul.

We can hope Putin dies from being an old fuck and Russia gives up

The US is on its last legs though. It badly needed this win. The US falls before Putin dies.

Clearly hasn't compared the US and Chinese economic data

Lol literally every single line of that post is absolutely nonsense.

The US is on its last legs though.

Lol in what universe? By way metric is the most powerful nation in the world limping along?

It badly needed this win.

If we badly needed a win we wouldn't be sending 30+ year-old surplus gear. Ukraine would have F-35s instead of the air force trying to pawn off A-10s because we're retiring them and don't want to break them down.

The US falls before Putin dies.

Unless he's a Highlander there's no fucking chance.
