Ukraine very obviously can't win, but if you still haven't figured that out yet then there's little point talking with you.
It's pretty funny how when Donbas wants to separate from nazis, it's Putin, Putin, Putin. But when US backed DPP wants separatism in Taiwan, it's just wholesome freedom and democracy. Apparently, people in Donbas don't get any agency of their own, and nobody can imagine why they wouldn't want to live under a western backed regime that's trying to erase their identity.
wow what an insult you've mustered there, did you have to get help from your mommy with that?
It's funny that you would bring up Vietnam because there is a parallel there, just not the one you think. The regime in western Ukraine that US backing bears a lot of resemblance to the regime US was backing in south Vietnam, and it's now collapsing in exactly the same way.
What you don't seem to understand is that there was already a civil war between western and eastern Ukraine since the coup in 2014. Let's take a look at a few slides from this lecture that Mearsheimer gave back in 2015 to get a bit of background on the subject. Mearsheimer is certainly not pro Russian in any sense, and a proponent of US global hegemony. First, here's the demographic breakdown of Ukraine:
here's how the election in 2004 went:
this is the 2010 election:
As we can clearly see from the voting patterns in both elections, the country is divided exactly across the current line of conflict. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2015 further shows that there is a sharp division between people of eastern and western Ukraine on which economic bloc they would rather belong to:
Ukraine is not some homogeneous blob, but a country that's divided precisely along the current combat lines.
You couldn't come with a dumber comment if you tried.
Incredible how you can state basic obvious truth and get mass downvotes. The fact that so many people still can't comprehend that Ukraine can't win this war shows the sheer power of western propaganda.
because people can see through obvious bullshit
I don't know too much about them to be honest, but yeah curious what that assertion is based on.
I'd argue that the whole idea of US military superiority is just a carefully curated myth. The reason they've been able to overwhelm countries in a flash was because they'd pick on small isolated countries with small poorly equipped militaries. Ukraine is the first time we're seeing US tech going up against a military peer and all of it was soundly defeated on the battlefield. US is a paper tiger.
As EU continues to implode economically, you might get what you're asking. It's quite likely that countries like Hungary and Slovakia will just exist the EU and enter BRICS. The worse European economy gets the more countries will do the same.
Ukraine managed to sink like 2 ships in two years, not exactly gonna break the Russian navy I'm afraid. UK managed to do that without any help just this week https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68040614
I don't need to convince you of anything, reality will be impossible to ignore even for the most propagandized segments of the public soon enough.
