War in Ukraine

Russia's demands will be placated late this year or early next year when their economy collapses. Standard procedure for whenever Russia gets in a war with an enemy that fights back (and can keep fighting for years) and there is no material support forthcoming for Russia from the U.S. If Trump increases military aid to Ukraine, Russia's collapse could occur sooner than that.

 

I can’t really see a series of events in which Trump provides military aid to Ukraine.

 

Covertly?

 

I know it doesn't match his rhetoric, but his actions often don't match his campaign rhetoric. I think his military advisors may start lobbying Trump to help Ukraine when Trump realizes that:

a) Ukraine has a good chance to win the war (Trump wants to be associated with a winner).

and

b) Aid to Ukraine might be the fastest way to end the war.

At some point in Russia's imminent economic collapse, Putin will start to look weak. He will no longer be able to maintain the facade that he is in control of the war or of Russia. Once Trump starts to lose respect for Putin as a strongman and dictator, he will probably turn on Putin.

 

cutting aid to Ukraine will only further alienate the EU and our other allies and encourage China to move on Taiwan. for those reasons, i would expect him to cut aid to Ukraine, I hope I'm proven wrong. He just had Jordan remove a strong proponent for aid from a primary committee leadership position

 

maybe this is why russia has resorted to golf carts and unprotected human assaults

Ukrainian drones and artillery destroy up to 90% of Russian equipment on Lyman front

"Up to 80-90% of the enemy's equipment is being destroyed by our drones and artillery. The enemy has yet to achieve parity, as our forces hold the advantage in both numbers and the precision of drone operations."

Details: Yurchuk said that Ukrainian troops use drones with fibre-optic communication, which ensures high precision in both control and attacks. He also mentioned that there are currently no issues with supplying the 63rd Mechanised Brigade with artillery shells and drones.

However, he pointed out that the brigade is short on personnel. Despite this, the command takes a cautious approach and avoids wasting human resources recklessly, unlike the Russians.
