Odesa is clearly on the Russians radar and they will look to take it this year(soon). If so, they will control on the southern most port city of Ukraine and will control the port where much of Ukraine export of wheat goes out, economically crippling Ukraine to a large degree. Once they control Odesa is strikes a major blow strategically, economically, and geographically to Ukraine.

Good thing that idiot Blinken was over there playing in a rock band while Ukraine is falling and hundreds of thousands(yes) of Ukrainians have died and they essentially have lost a large portion of military age fighting males. They are sending old men and yes, they are sending mentally ill people including people with down's syndrome, etc. to the war effort. That is what it is coming to.

The Russians have gotten better at war. The Ukranians have as well. But, time and manpower is not on the Ukranians side. Look for a major Russian offensive this summer(in the coming weeks, shortly) as they push towards Odesa and they are going to open main battles lines further north and to the east.

The United States has been sending weapons that were older and in our inventory. The politicians(on both sides of the aisle) have told us this was no big deal as it was old stuff we were not using. Well guess, what? Estimates have it that we are going to run out of that old inventory soon. We are at about 80% through that sending it to this proxy war in Ukraine. That means we either have to ramp up production of our military industrial complex or start sending our inventory of weapons from what our military has, particularly the US Army. Or both. NOT GOOD. We loaded Ukraine with weapons and are now running low.

US weapons systems have proven to be expensive and not totally effective for the cost.

This is turning into a debacle and the pickle is now what happens? We need weapons production. Does Russia take Odesa(likely) and then take Moldova. I

The Ukrainians will have no ability to push Russia out so what is the end game? Major Russian offensive coming soon.


We were lied to, again.

2022: Biden officials privately doubt that Ukraine can win back all of its territory
2024: Biden admin isn’t fully convinced Ukraine can win, even with new aid

We're this far in & still no clear (or even foggy) path to victory. Doubt is persisting within Biden's WH, too. We're funding a Kobayashi Maru.

If Putin proposed a ceasefire, which would help prevent thousands upon thousands of additional Ukrainian deaths, in return for freezing the current lines, would dems support that? Remember, even the WH has serious ongoing doubts about Ukraine

Putin's goals weren't really to take land. People have devolved this conflict into a board game of RISK. Ukraine rejecting ceasefires in hopes of punting to the Swiss summit (which Russia hasn't been invited) could be a big mistake. It's not for three more weeks & given changing seasons, Russia could make an effort to take even more before anything meaningful comes from that summit. Plus, with Russia not being invited, their allies will basically be acting as proxies.
