A lot of speculation, uncertainty and hypotheticals. The west will continue to support Ukraine against Russia.
Who do you think blew up the pipeline?
A case could probably be made for either side. Russia supposedly has done this before in Georgia
Yeah this article is missing the mark. Much like the larger conflict the U.S. is going to throw Ukranians under the bus for it's own agenda, like selling oil and gas to the EU at wildly inflated rates.
Why sell oil when the US can sell weapons? It helps that Russia can't sell theirs.
Right? And they are the mothballed shit that was gonna rot in a wearhouse instead of doing what they are supposed to do: blow Russians into tiny peices.
Now we get to watch a field test in war conditions, restock our own troops with even better shit, design strategies with the use of drones after watching how well the Ukrainian military are using them, and sit on our ass providing intelligence while the Russians get royally fucked.
This is a win/win for everyone except Russian invaders.
Well, and all the dead ukrainians
I'm sure the majority of Ukrainians would rather fight for their very existence instead of rolling over and ending up a Russian satellite state again.
I don’t think Americans or Ukrainians can complain. The US gets to sell oil and weapons, and Ukraine gets the weapons they need. It’s win-win.
