Ukraine has had 7. There's literally no one left to fight. Most EU countries populations had a willingness of under 20% to sign up for war. The next biggest "European" army is Turkey and they will certainly not fight Russia for you.

"A new poll suggests Americans are growing weary as the US supports Ukraine in its war against Russia."[1]

I think it's time you put your evil/good ideology aside and face the reality that most economic publications have admitted by now that Russia has by all accounts won the economic war and that there is absolutely no way that Ukraine(which is by the way in default, the US taxpayer is paying people in public office in Ukraine just like they did in Afghanistan before it collapsed) can win the war.

7 drafts? Their country is being invaded. If there isn't anyone left to fight, why hasn't Russia taken Kiev yet? Why did Russia lose Kharkiv? Who is Russia fighting?


Why would they? Controlling a population that is hostile towards you is an absolute nightmare. Americans should know, they tried it many times. So did the Soviets and it never worked out. Kiev's population has a Russian minority of less then 15% while in the eastern two breakaway republics the majority is. Have you ever looked at a map of Ukraine?

The problem with people like you is that you don't actually listen. You don't really have to agree with what the other side says, but you should at least listen instead of just believing what you want to believe and what the voice inside of your own head says.


Were you paying any attention at the beginning? Russia attempted a capitulation strike aimed at Kiev from the north and northeast (including an airborne operation) at the same time as starting a shock and awe campaign with ballistic and cruise missiles against every major and regional city.

That was their grand plan. Take Kyiv in 3 days and subjugate the populace which is >90% hostile to you. Absolute madness. Dictator syndrome to the fullest. Only a chain of lies going to the top could have led Putin to believe it was possible.
