While that was absolutely the original intent, I do think the west has got itself in a very difficult situation here. There’s no clear path to exist Ukraine that’s not going to be an utter debacle. The US will likely cut and run as they always do, but that will have huge repercussions for NATO since at that point it will be exposed as a paper tiger. We’re also seeing the political environment in Europe shifting away from Atlanticism as a result of the war. The economic situation in Europe is dire, and with US leaving them holding the bag that’s only gonna make things worse.
they’re not that stupid.
ukraine is cannon fodder to keep having a reason to buy more arms from weapons suppliers that fund their politicial campaigns. that is it.

The “WAR IN EUROPE” is gonna bite them in the ass, no way to ignore and memoryhole it like Afghanistan.
Exactly, this is too close to home to just sweep under the rug and move on.
