    To be fair, without the US ukraine would crumble. I don’t know if all of Europe’s support could hold back Russia. Russia has adapted significantly during this war and their propaganda and IT efforts are still top notch.

      Even if they win, it’s still a multi-year war that everybody expected to be like a week long invasion at most. You’ve got to give the credit for that. And that’s with all their effort. I doubt they can manipulate the US again while doing that, especially now that we’re on the look out for their social media tactics again.

        They certainly don’t have the resources to spare as they once did before the full scale invasion. And I’m rooting for ukraine, their extinction would be a travesty.
