When talking about this with my lib friends, I suggested that maybe if Ukrainans went back in time to 2022, they might have decided that suing for peace in exchange for land would have been a better outcome than all the death and destruction that was about to come. He immediately retorted that, if we went back in time, that we should have spent a trillion dollars on weapons and marched on Moscow. I expected strong pushback during that conversation but I honestly didn’t expect “we should have had an even more horrific war and given even more money to the military industrial complex”
Spending any amount of money won’t do them any good unless they’ve figured out a way to convert capital into brand new, full grown adult males to wield these weapons.
I think we must laugh, what else is there to do for them now? Apart from explaining this was mostly people who didn’t want to fight who fought, pressed into it by neonazis and NATO mercenaries, and all the war’s supporters have been hiding out in the West plugging their ears. Once everyone understands the premises, I think we can laugh.
The only decision for these guys is to march on Kyiv or surrender to the Russians. If they don’t, that’s their choice to sit and die while some Ahkmat soldier screams for gods blessing while their trench gets assaulted.
I would laugh if this wasn’t beyond grim. Grinding young and old so US companies can extract profit from an entire continent.

Classic lib, thinking that if they spend more money on weapons, more weapons will just magically appear.
