Zelenskyy: “The world is cynical, politics is infinitely cynical. They give us weapons so that we are strong enough to contain the Russian onslaught and prevent war in Europe, but not so strong as to destroy Russia and shake the economic profits of our allies.”

1. I hate Sullivan like you have no idea.

2. That’s a dumb take. This war has caused the worst economic crisis in a generation in Europe, and there’s no end in sight. The only ones profiting from the current status quo are the Americans, and they don’t give any aid at all at the moment. Europe would be much better off with a swift Ukrainian victory, but without the US on board that’s not in the books. Ukraine refuses to field enough manpower, and Europe doesn’t have sufficiently large stockpiles of weapons.

3. Funny, I’m continually being downvoted for saying exactly this. There you have it from Zelensky himself. The western powers will NEVER give Ukraine sufficient weaponry to forcibly evict the Russians. The only hope is internal collapse in Russia, which doesn’t really appear that likely.

4. They need to expand their own arms industries do not rely on other countries to be relied on just read history books its full of betrayal

5. Well yes, that has been the fantastically working plan for the past 2 years……? Why try to break morale now? The plan won’t change, as it’s geopolitically correct.

   The territory changes don’t matter to us, as Ukraine is not an ally and they are also dirt poor. What matters is how this unique geopolitical situation allows us to destroy the russian army at zero loss of life. Which can only continue so long as Russia doesn’t retreat. If we give more, that would happen.

6. The peoples supoort Ukraine but politicians do the less possible because they are risk adverse.

7. Sobering words from Zelenskyy.
