  • I would imagine dems would want to avoid Afghanistan style debacle before the election, so they will do all they can to keep it on life support for the next couple of month. After that, it’s almost certainly gonna be cut loose because Israel is way more important to the US strategically.

    Everybody now understands that Ukraine is going to lose, and it’s really a matter of what the terms of surrender will be. Meanwhile, if Israel gets in over its head then the US will lose its foothold in the whole region. Getting kicked out of West Asia would be a huge blow to the empire since it’s already losing its foothold in Africa. At that point, the only serious presence US will have will be in Europe.










  • Exactly, and while I do think Ugledar happens to be strategically important, there is an undeniable factor of Ukraine being constrained by the need for optics. Since Ukraine is entirely dependent on the west to continue fighting, they’re conscious about them getting cold feet if they start thinking that Ukraine is a lost cause. This results in Ukraine holding every centimetre of territory to the last man, and doing stunts like Kursk. On the other hand, Russian military is free to make decisions regardless of the optics. They can give up territory, do tactical retreats, and so on. This is a huge advantage since it affords Russia far more operational freedom.
