Not with NATO sending aid like this, no they have no chance. In case you haven't noticed they still don't even control Bakhmut after 8 months of assaulting it. This is not an asymmetrical war this is symmetrical, because of the NATO weapons.
But without aid, yes Russia would by occupying Ukraine. Ukraine would've run out of equipment somewhere around July. Is this disputed by the Russians, US, NATO, Ukraine, General Bakshi? Is this something you think I've been inconsistent about? I think it's more likely you're misunderstanding me. And even if Russia was occupying Ukraine you'd have that counter-insurgency guerilla war I was referring to because Ukraine isn't giving up any time soon.
None of that relates to the Ukraine War, except that you want your guy running the country instead and you feel if Ukraine succeed Biden succeeds. You have a fetish with spinning every topic in the news into a Biden outrage or Biden failure, so you've become a Putin lover.
Go ahead and reread what I wrote, because you just aren't understanding it. I'll help you, I wrote:
"No one has invaded anyone in Europe for 80 years since WWII"
That is not a lie. I didn't say anything about borders not ever changing. The Kosovo War was a civil war fought in Yugoslavia, where the UN eventually went in and stopped people from fighting and Yugoslavia broke up. So borders have changed in just one country, internally.
And none of that changes my original point: The last time there was such an invasion in Europe 400,000 Americans died because Germany invaded Poland. After WWII we formed the UN and said now we respect each others border and no one invades anyone. Russia is trying to break that 80 year precedent here. Russia is trying to say it's okay to invade your neighbors if you don't like what's going on there.
He doesn't need to. All he needs is for one missile to be shot from one side to the other to start WWIII. And you're telling me that doesn't affect our national security in any way whatsoever?
No, most of them agreed it was a good idea with small minority of outliers who disagreed on Ukraine and Georgia joining- which is why Georgia and Ukraine never got into NATO and wasn't going to for the foreseeable future.
Remember? You need a unanimous vote to join NATO. And we didn't ask Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania to join NATO, they asked us. We unanimously agreed. In hindsight, they were right to ask us. In hindsight, we were right to protect them to contain Russian expansion.
