  2. 100% in agreement with Mr. Forbes. We are being naive about all this and have thereby created a very dangerous situation. It doesn't look good going forward.

  4. Disagree. Biden provoked the war and rejected Ukraine neutrality (Dec 2021), don't know why it was Biden's decision to make, should have been Ukraine's decision, bad chess move. Does anyone believe Biden has the cognitive skills to play international world chess with millions of lives and trillions in Treasury at stake. In a neutral Ukraine, their energy, minerals, metals, & agriculture resources are available for sale to everyone.

  7. Ukraine can not defeat Russia. Negotiations are and always were the only way forward. What does a "win" even look like? Young men die because old men are foolish.

  8. Good point Steve , but it is upping the stakes with a nuclear armed adversary – and is high risk . I can’t see Ukraine recovering its lost territory any time soon , and any ‘ victory’ for Ukraine could end up being pyrrhic !

  11. Throwing money at Ukraine is as pointless as spending decades in Afghanistan. The war ends as soon as the US stops paying for it.

  13. Steve forbs better accept new multipolar world and make peace, dont lie the west people and ukraine that ukraine can win, ukraine can win only if outnumbering the russians in everything by 10x, men, ammunition, artillery, armored vehicles, aviation, long range weapon and so on , thats never gonna happen i mean never and ever , even if nato give insane aid to ukraine still cannot outnumber the russian industry do not mention that putin make a deal with china,n.k, iran india and so on to make everything for russian army to ensure that nato will never ever outnumber the russians, trust me people no one has ever defeated a russian war. industry.

  14. Don't we have weapons systems we would rather keep out of Russian hands? Maybe best to keep some cards hidden.

  15. Steve Forbes, if you had any degree of military expertise, your opinions could have carried some weight. But if you are trying to influence the decision makers with your garble, you are like a barking dog with no bite.
    Russia is not the same calibre as the adversaries that America destroyed in the past with the help of Nato, namely Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. America has met with the wrath and power of Russia in the current war of Russia against American hegemony — the craving to dictate to other countries and people how they must go about to please the hegemon America.

  16. Agree. War is never a half-in, half-out deal. You are either in or out. Pooptin, and the rest of the autocrats, need to be taught that trying to monger your way to more land is only gonna generate a very decisive response. Biden has helped some, but Trumper/Vance will walk away from Ukraine and create a mess for the future. I am not a fan of Harris either, but at least she means to open the gates for Ukraine. Isolationism is never the way. Viva Ukraine!!!

  18. What does a victory look like for Ukraine? A victory for Russia would be a peace deal that Zelensky signs saying that Ukraine is a neutral country that will not join NATO.

  19. Ukraine is losing men fast on the conflict zone in East Ukraine. From the start US+NATO should have listened to Russia's complain of NATO eastward expansion towards Russia's borders. And Ukraine was the RED line, so here we are talking about How to assist Ukraine win against Russia. Seriously!
    Mar 10, 2022. Zelensky's three big miscalculations

    Did Volodymyr Zelensky bet on direct intervention by NATO? Did he over-estimate Ukraine's strategic importance to the West? Palki Sharma explains Zelensky's 3 big miscalculations that gave Russia the upper hand.

  21. No amount of Aid will lead to Victory.
    Russia will fight to the end.
    Russia is Bigger, has a better army, and a weapon industry integrated to the Front.
    And have Nukes and will use them before being defeated.
    If Russia loses this war, it will be no more an independent country, this war is existential for Russia, it is not existential for US.
