neutron bombs all the way down then
The US are pouring weapons, training and intelligence into Ukraine with no strategy for victory or even any articulation of what victory looks like. While the conflict goes on the chances of direct Russia - NATO combat, by design or accident, are growing.
Does Russia have no agency? Why is it only the US risking WW3?The US are pouring weapons, training and intelligence into Ukraine with no strategy for victory or even any articulation of what victory looks like.

damn yankees want to share the funDoes Russia have no agency? Why isn't only the US risking WW3?
How does the current “plan” stop the Russians?Ok cool. How do you plan to make Russia stop otherwise?
How does the current “plan” stop the Russians?
It's stopping them from invading the whole of Ukraine. It's stopping them from carrying out genocide and atrocities against civilians across the whole of the country. It's stopping them from turning their eyes towards the Baltic nations and beyond.How does the current “plan” stop the Russians?
you seem to forget what happened in vietnam in the endIt creates a Vietnam type scenario to ensure they don't try this again for a long time.
A pretty shit scenario really.
US has released video of the drone encounter

the yanks pulled out and the evil communists united the country. the lesson being the united states can't be relied on to be there for the duration, and if you watch what the republicans are saying in washington it may be that once again the yanks abandon an allyVietnam won and the US didn't get involved in another major overseas war for some time because of the anti war feelings it created?

Looks all the world like they're pissing on it.
If the republicans get in and the US withdraw support it will be interesting to see what France and Germany do. I expect they won't maintain the arms.the yanks pulled out and the evil communists united the country. the lesson being the united states can't be relied on to be there for the duration, and if you watch what the republicans are saying in washington it may be that once again the yanks abandon an ally
It kept the USA in check for nearly 20 years. I don't think they did any serious invading after they lost Vietnam until Grenada.you seem to forget what happened in vietnam in the end
the problem was that was the war they were fighting, while the vietnamese had rather different ideas on how the combat might go. it wasn't that there were no front lines, it was everywhere was a front line.tbf Vietnam was a very different type of war. US had the conventional military power but didn't win as that wasn't the type of war they were fighting. No front lines, counteroffensives etc
you're looking at it the wrong way, invasions aren't the americans' first port of call - you miss out all the other activities of the 1960s and 1970s - i think i've mentioned the alliance for progress above (might of course be on another thread), the interventions in latin and central america - bolivia, el salvador, colombia and so on. kept the americans in check my arseIt kept the USA in check for nearly 20 years.

My guess is that Washington's plan is to twist Big Z's arm until he agrees to a deal that stops the war, while also being basically a sell out.Ok cool. How do you plan to make Russia stop otherwise?
the country's already been soldMy guess is that Washington's plan is to twist Big Z's arm until he agrees to a deal that stops the war, while also being basically a sell out.
Especially given the price of fuel.They're spraying it (well, missing it) with jet fuel apparently.
Seems like an awful waste.

You mean the arrival of Robin Williams? That was awful that part.you seem to forget what happened in vietnam in the end
I suppose that was as close to pissing on it as the pilot could do without putting him/herself in danger.They're spraying it (well, missing it) with jet fuel apparently.
