The US is the main driver of NATO by far. The far reaches of russia are right next to the far reaches of the US, but Ukraine is on the other side of the planet. Why would Russia have less incentive than the US to lose?
Because we have long memories. The last nation to attempt forceful annexation of neighboring countries like this was Nazi Germany.
Oh wow, the comparison to nazi germany... Do you honestly believe that a country with the GDP of one of americas states is a risk to take over Europe like germany did?
Most European nations fit that description. Yeah I think it's possible.
If that is true then Ukraine had zero chance of winning. So then considering that, you are in favor of using the deaths of tens of thousands of dead Ukrainian soldiers and civilians to mildly harm the Russian military?
First Georgia now Ukraine. It's time for the world make it known that shit ain't gonna fly.
So that is a yes, you want Ukrainians to die for a narative that is not proven and doesnt seem logical?
Ukrainians are already dying because Russia is attempting to invade their country. Wtf?
Apparently you are not aware that the war could have ended two years ago but Boris Johnson flew in and offered them weapons to keep fighting. What your logic seems to be saying is - you are in favor of giving weapons to Ukraine so they can fight and weaken Russia, but they never had a chance of winning because Russia is strong enough to semi-replicate what Nazi germany did. So you are willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of Ukrainians to weaken Russia. What part about this is not what you believe?
Cool, that is not what we are talking about right now.

Russia is strong, but not nearly strong enough to “semi-replicate” what Nazi Germany did, not that it really matters since Russia has no interest in replicating it.
I'm in favor of giving Ukraine weapons so they can defend themselves. You trying to put statements in my mouth because what I'm actually saying is inconvenient for you changes nothing.
If Russia is probably capable of doing what Nazi Germany did, why would giving them weapons to defend themselves end in a win?
Mildly harm? The battle reports don't look so mildly for Russia.
Who do you get accurate battle reports from?
