Will the 16 Billion ukraine aid defeat Russia?

[Anonymous]

So we are about to send 16 billion Aid to ukraine, will that help ukraine finally to defeat Russia?

It is 60 billion and it may last 4 or 5 months before Biden wants to send another 60 billion. Ukraine is the gift that keeps on giving

1. good old USA is planning a gaint overhaul of everything military grade. So our backstroke is completely outdated garbage. So the Ukrainian lean lease is more or less a garage sell. That comes with global logistics worth it's wait in gold. Net positive.

2 show an inch of weakness Russia take a 100 miles.

Trump more or less gave permission to invade nato countries that don't foot the bill.

What does that actually mean? That nato country's are now safer under as Russian puppets and all information of our military are at risk.

If we can't fully protect and commit to all of our allies, they become existental liabilities. Basically a death sentence.

It will help strip Russia of young cannon fodder, they are already moving age to 70 as they need more boots in the mincer. With the various airline incidents, it is starting to show the impact of sanctions. There are less and less people available to throw out of windows by the Russian regime. F-16’s and also longer range weapons for Himars / M270 are also becoming available. Ukraine got through the winter and new systems will be installed over the summer. There is constant troops training going on, for all types of roles. The recent naval drone attack showed how vulnerable a warship is to an underwater drone. Yes Russia is huge has a large number of men available, however they are trying like mad not to use Russians from Moscow or St Petersburg. If Russia falls then the likes of Iran, North Korea become valid targets.

No. With trumps recent claim that he would encourage Russia to attack nato allies if he won, Russia knows it only has to put all of its effort into helping trump win. This is far cheaper than invasion so I suspect Russia will be contented with simply holding the territory they already stole until next year. The aid allocated for Ukraine is to help stop Russia advancement, not to necissarily push them back. It forces Russia into that standoff until November. Then if Biden wins, democrats take the house and hold the senate, Russia's will to fight should be permanently crushed. But if republicans take all three branches of government that is the end of Nato and Russia rules the world from then on ushering in a permanent new world order of global fascism until humaniry goes extinct, which probably won't be another 30 years or so.

In a way potentially. A lot of production lines will go online in Europe and in Ukraine in 2025 which might be enough to tip the scales in Ukraines favour but Ukraine being able to deal with Russia this year is necessary for 2025 to be a success.

In way its the last year where Russia has a good shot at winning the war.

Once they start encountering new tanks, drones, APC:s, missiles, IFV:s, etc rolling off the production lines, its going to put a hiccup in their operations.

Even Gripens might be on the table for 2025.

Every dollar and every bullet helps. Ukraine does not even have to defeat Russia, all they need to do is killing more soldiers and blowing up more equipment than Russia can send into their country. At a certain point even the bloodthirstiest Putin will understand that his calculations failed.

[purplepoppy]

Have you seen the size of Russia, it's massive and puts 40% of it's budget into the military. It's impossible for Ukraine to defeat them but what they can do is make the price of victory too high for Russia.

Besides since Trump has told Russia to attack Europe, the more ammo they use up today the better for us tomorrow.

I wonder how much of the money sent there gets stolen. I also wonder why their artillery uses Russian mass fire when they have very accurate guns from Nato now. They will waste their chance at freedom as I won’t pay for a country that wastes the money and munitions given to them.

[Veles]

No, it will only help Zelensky and his corrupt buddies line their pockets further.

[Dargil]

We need to get out of that. We have no strategic advantage there. Better Taiwan and locking down our southern border.

[Anonymous]

No. But it will continue to bleed Russia. And that is the whole point. This is the war we've lived in for decades, proxy wars.

No just help the democrats pay their fentanyl manufacturers off the books
