Sullivan says military aid will help Ukraine mount counteroffensive in 2025

1. Two points…

   1. Sullivan’s caution (and the GOP’s betrayal) is what got Ukraine in the position they’re in now, in 2024. Had the US gone balls-to-the-wall in their support in 2022, things might be different now. Sullivan’s measured escalation tree has simply given Russia time to recover and adapt from its early failures, to Ukraine’s detriment.

   2. Speaking of 2024. What about a 2024 counter offensive? Oh, that’s right, the US stalled aid for half a year. This gives Russia yet another year to fortify and prepare.

2. It will help hold the lines but, (I hope I am wrong) the only thing that will push Russia out of Ukraine is a full on rebellion inside of Russia or a full on assault by NATO.

3. Ukraine would be lucky if it manages to stabilize the front line. As it currently stands, Russia – with the help of its allies – is outproducing the US and EU.

4. Ukraine isn’t winning back any lost territories and by that I mean the areas they haven’t had since 2014 and certainly not the strip of land they long in the beginning of this war. They don’t have near the manpower. They tried last summer and it was an epic failure.
