    Give Ukraine everything they need to kick the Russians off their soil. Tomahawks, F35s, a million artillery shells a week, etc… lift all usage restrictions with the exception of civilian targets and infrastructure. Once every square inch of Ukraine is back in Ukrainian hands full NATO membership and a Marshall like recovery plan.

    Or assassinate Putin. As long as Putin lives Ukraine is under threat.

      That’s unsustainable, brainless and unrealistic, who is going to pay and fight if the war continues for 5 more years, what about 10 more years?

        Russia is importing North Koreans to fight. You think if Ukraine gets unlimited weapons the war will last 5 more years? What day of the 3 day invasion are we on now?

        The only reason the war has lasted this long is because of the drip feeding of weapons. which was probably a ploy to extend the war and make defense contractors more rich. So yeah, end it quickly by giving Ukraine what it needs to win.

        So, what’s your "totally realistic"TM solution?

          Weapons don’t win wars, people do, and Ukraine has a severe troops shortage right now that will only get worse as the war goes on. You can give them all the weapons in the world, if there’s no one there to fire them, they’ll still lose

            That is fundementally wrong. Firepower absolutely makes up for numbers disadvantage.

            if a hundred Russians, Norks and other Mercenaries and their vehicles get smoked in a battle by a single cluster bomb. Rinse and repeat

      and infrastructure.

      No. That has to go. The war will end a lot sooner, if there aren’t any bridges and rails left, the Russkies can use to ship ammo and cannon fodder.

        I meant civilian infrastructure. So like power stations or shipping centers that handle civilian goods or subways etc… If it carries a single artillery round it’s fair game.

          How did we reach a point where the most hawkish warmongering psychos think they’re left-leaning?

            Fighting fascists is a long standing tradition of the left. Pick up a history book idiot.

                Cause the US government has always been more comfortable with fascist regimes. Again, pick up a history book idiot.

                  I see. So the reason you, as a “leftist,” are clamouring for WWIII is because you want to support our pro-fascist government against another pro-fascist government. I’m not sure that’s as valid of a cause as you think it is, idiot.

                    Did appeasing Hitler stop ww2? I’m advocating to stop ww3. That’s very reductionist of you, and not the truth at all. But you know that.
