Well if we're not going to bother helping them win, then yeah, I guess they should surrender for now until Russia's recovered enough that they can finish the job.

Fuck Ukraine, not our problem, there's nothing we can do anyway and none of this is ever going to affect any of us. /s

We've been happy to lard them up with debt and sell them overpriced military surplus. Idk if that counts as "helping them win" but we've made a handsome profit off it.

Hey now. Don't look at Ukraine as a problem. Look at Ukraine as a big play for recently vacated real estate. Jared Kushner is going to make so much fucking money leasing Ukraine's land back to its residents.

Now Ukrainians? They're going to get fucked.

Fair point, but really, I don't know why they can't single-handedly win a war against a country 10x their size using only our obsolete overpriced leftovers, with strings attached telling how they're allowed and not allowed to use them. Are they even trying? /s

I mean, ask Afghanistan, Vietnam, or Korea.

But also ask why these wars popped off to begin with and why they dragged on long after any foreign country had a material interest in continuing the fight.

Also maybe look into the UON and question why the Canadian Parliament was applauding an elderly SS Officer who described WW2 as the best years of his life.

Tons of profit in war mongering.
