Most people here just want Russia to win decisively against Western Europeans and America. They find it easy to sympathize with Russians and throw Ukrainians under the bus. It's like cheering for your favorite football team at this point. Some come up with insane justifications for why we should side with Russia and let the Ukrainians get absolutely hammered. Some are needlessly too heartless towards a country that's being pummeled to the point of a looming demographic crisis. Few don't even consider Ukrainians as human beings. What the Americans are doing to throw Ukrainians under the bus at this juncture sets a dangerous precedence.
Me personally, I want this wasteful meat-grinder to end. No need to reach for ideas like "Ukrainians supplied equipment to Pakistan, Ukraine insulted Indian culture", it doesn't qualify them to get hammered like this. Russians themselves are being scumbags, using a basket full of excuses to gobble up as much land as they can for warm water ports and a neutered buffer zone. Europeans were happily throwing Ukrainians to the meat grinder to damage Russia without committing a single pair of boots on the ground. Americans have been happy to finally deal some physical pain to Russia relatively cheaply. Russians have been happy to dig in for years and to keep spilling blood.
While the possibility of NATO staging missiles in yet another neighboring erstwhile satellite state was a massive slap on the face of Russia and they invaded, they are a country that'll take a mile if you give them an inch. Not content with invading a sovereign nation, occupying 1/3rd of it's land and destroying it's infrastructure and youth populace in a protracted war; Russia wants Ukraine to sign the modern equivalent of the The Treaty of Versailles. Every single leader in both sides of this conflict is acting like either utter clowns (Trump/Zelensky) or malicious scumbags (Putin/Starmer). Consider the fact that Ukrainians can only afford to fire 1/3rd of the artillery shells Russia is firing every day. They have a limited stock of cruise missiles, they barely have an air force with pending F-16 deliveries, they are heavily reliant on improvised weaponry and cheap drones, they are short on manpower, their air defense grid is full of gaping holes and is barely hanging on, the number of long range artillery and MLRS they have is laughable, even Pakistan has more electronic warfare assets than they do. But with just some NATO SIGINT/ELINT flights, they are still in the fight. They haven't lost the country despite devastating losses. While NATO provides them with round the clock intel, they have been given peanuts in terms of ordnance and weaponry. While having a grossly insignificant domestic industrial output compared to the Russian war machine.
If Ukrainians had a few hundred F-16s, they'd have bombed every major Russian city and command HQ in range and maintain air dominance over Ukraine. But their allies never committed, spineless Europeans and all that. Americans alone could easily supply 250-300 F-16s out of their reserves, they didn't. They can right now supply 500-600 Abrams, 500-600 Bradleys from storage, but they don't. Ukrainians think the Biden administration was their friend, it's the Biden administration that got them into this mess, with half promises and willfully inadequate support. Now Trump is back and he wants to stop any and all American taxpayer expenditure that doesn't directly benefit America or his ego. So I request fellow members to not belittle Ukrainians while their lives are being spent like currency because of a few malicious parties. There is no greater honor in life than fighting for the motherland.
