Sad thing is that Ukraine wouldn't have gotten nearly as much support if it looked like they had no chance of winning, or at least resisting.
I think the diplomatic logic is what's the point in supporting a loser - your support doesn't change anything and when they lose you're on the winners shit list. If you support a winner then you may have a beneficial relationship in the future.
Ukraine never had a chance to win militarily, the plan was to strangle Russia by sanctions and it had the chance of succeeding, just the USA intelligence fucked up (not the first not last time, look: Iran) and did not noticed or underestimated Russia efforts to diversify its exports, and global south, mainly China and India, not wanting to be next ones on the US empire chopping block.

You can identify the liberals in this thread because they dislike this, but can’t provide a single credible argument against it.
