Opinion: Ukraine Must Win, Mobilize to the Maximum. Only a mobilized military Ukraine, armed and prepared, can survive and win. Discussions on democracy and liberal values, unrelated to survival, will occur post-victory.

1. Ukraine also needs long range missiles, the F-16’s with their longer range radar, as well as mine clearing vehicles.

2. Even if this is done, with what will theu fight with?

   If there are no weapons, they won’t be effective.

3. Without proper weaponry they’re just heading into a meatgrinder (which is exactly what russia wants)

4. Eh, I disagree. Just on the basis of evidence. Ukraine seems to be able to handle liberalization simultaneously with national defense just fine.

   In fact if you ask a few rainbow unicorn soldiers or anti-corruption investigators I bet they will tell you that the two go hand in hand. Putin mocked Ukraine’s army for being weak and woke but this supposed weakness has enabled Ukraine to repel everything Russia has thrown at them, while reducing Russia to a military power ranked somewhere below France.

   I say, keep doing both.

5. Mobilization in stages and properly training with Western weaponry.
