How long can NATO keep send military support to Ukraine?

[harrison102]

How long can Uk, USA and other nato countries send military support for Ukraine at our cost? Should we keep sending or stop? Or should have not got involved?

[BCA6010]

A lot longer than anyone (should) be comfortable with, but a huge chunk of it has actually been an elaborate laundering operation to transfer taxpayer money into the pockets of various politicians, corporations, and interest groups. Another large chunk hasn't actually just been sent to Ukraine, but rather used to buy replacements for equipment the US just sent to Ukraine with no strings attached.

Personally, I don't trust really any Western government to competently handle war in any direct or indirect capacity, nor do I trust them to handle anything remotely related to peace talks. They are adept at self-enrichment at the expense of others, villainizing people who make serious efforts, and little else. All that said, it would be better to have never been involved.

We can send materials long time... as long as no other wars flare up, but is it enough... the burn rate is really high. The American consumer is brain washed enough... they will keep paying the bill as long as they don't have to suffer in the war.

I think the question is more how long is Russia patient not to throw the whole of it's military at Ukraine, how much Ukranian military is left, and how long will they hold off using the "big bombs". There appears no interest in resolving it, can see that in the response to Macrone.

This could go on decades... already has gone on a decade...

Terrible... I have no idea anymore...

Indefinitely. It's a very cheap war. Supply Ukraine and they do the fighting.
They tried this in Vietnam and Afghanistan but the ARVN and the Afghan national army wouldn't fight.

[purplepoppy]

We've got billions of dollars worth of it just lying around that would never get used anyway.

[harrison102]

Fair so until the war has ended we keep supporting them

[purplepoppy]

Look at it this way. We can easily afford it but Russia can't. Once his military is weakened we can either move in ourselves or bring him to the bargaining table on our terms.

[harrison102]

But this could be 12 months away, more people will die

[purplepoppy]

They'll die anyway

[harrison102]

Haha okay thanks for your comment

How long can we? Forever, essentially. Russia will run out of men long before we run out of money and military equipment.

As far as whether we should or not, I believe we should. Ukraine isn't important in the grand scheme of things, but this has provided an opportunity for us to crush Russia from global power status, and avoid returning to the Trilateral diplomacy of the cold war (US, Russia, China). This conflict calls into question China's ability to easily retake Taiwan (as any analyst would say Russia's military is more potent than China's), and would boost the perceived benefits of NATO membership.

The US will support them until the deep state is arrested and hung… Lawfare takes time… The word is they are sending patriot missile systems now… Given that it is a complex system that requires a good deal of training and experience, it’s more likely they are sending actual NATO troops in to man them who are pretending to be Ukrainians… That’s not a good sign...

[BeMuse]

They won't send them enough missiles to actually stop the Russian cruise missile barrage that is decimating their utility infrastructure for a long demoralizing winter because the production scale isn't there at the moment and other allies also have demands (i. e. Saudi Arabia), but it's always a bad sign when troops start to commingle in proxy wars... That when things escalate from a proxy war to a real war...

About another 2 months.

The problem is that Russia just seems to be able to keep up with the whole West, in maintaining it's war effort.

The West thought this would be a "two day war" where Russia would run out, or give up due to costs. Instead it's the West that has supply issues, and an energy and cost of living crisis.

As Long as the politicians and their corrupt paymasters are benefiting financially, it will keep going on, no matter what the cost.

[Anonymous]

Until Russia throws its entire army into the fight and makes the Ukraine disappear, or they decide to shutdown Ukrainian borders.

[exitseven]

As soon as the United States stops sending money the whole thing will fall apart.

[LiamJHayden]

At least for several years. This is what can be done, not necessarily what should be done.

[joeldalton]

We should have never got involved. They'll never stop because there's no one to oppose them.

Seems like they want to kick start world war 3.

[harrison102]

Who wants ww3 Russia or NATO?

[Opinion Owner]

Well the US just agreed to spend $858 billion on military spending soo

[harrison102]

Okay, you American? You not happy with the spending?

[LimitedBenefits101]

We already sent them billions ffs, i'm sick and tired of them...

[lalaloveee]

I'm so bored of Ukraine

[harrison102]

I don’t think you meant to like it tbh

[lalaloveee]

This war will end when US, Europe and other NATO countries are confident that they have weakened Russia.

It was already planned before the war started. I find it unnecessary to talk about something scripted. Thats why I dont care and get bored.
