Wars either end with a clear victory for one side or else they end when a mutually agreeable settlement can be reached.
Supplying weapons to Ukraine is intended to produce a settlement (more) favorable to Ukraine by showing Russia that they have no conceivable path to a clear victory.
Nope. Goal is to weaken Russia while hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians pay with their lives
That's simplistic as are most of your hot takes, because, frankly, you're an idiot.
The Ukrainians are fighting maintain sovereignty and ultimately increased economic ties with the west. They'd continue to fight with or without western support and it wouldn't go any better for them in the latter case.
The west is supporting Ukraine to keep Russia in a box and to deter other countries, mostly China, from imperialist aggression.
Russia is fighting because Putin, as with many authoritarian leaders, needed an active enemy to distract from his leadership failures to leverage Russia's natural and human resources to become the economic power that it ought to be.
Didn't Russia invade Ukraine? You're saying Russia invaded Ukraine and the goal was to weaken Russia?
I am talking about the US funding Ukraine of course.
R U unaware of the US aided violent overthrow of the elected govt of Ukraine in 2014 and the next 8 years where that new government killed Russian speakers in East Ukraine?
Would Ukraine need to defend itself, if Russia didn't invade? Couldn't this have all been avoided?

This last paragraph is exactly what our government is doing

If what you say about the Clintons is true, is that good? You seem to think Putin doing it is good?
What does that statement mean to you?
It is true and no it's not good. I'm really not a fan of Putin, not a fan of the Clintons, not a fan of Ukraine and Zelensky. I'm really just not a fan.

You're saying
US is fighting because Biden, as with many authoritarian leaders, needed an active enemy to distract from his leadership failures to leverage the US's natural and human resources to become the economic power that it ought to be.
This makes literally no sense. Considering some of your main complaints against Biden is that he makes it very difficult to use our natural resources and that our military is understaffed.
Also - the US isn't fighting and the US is the largest economy in the world by a long shot.
A lot of Russia is a barely industrial backwater. Every Russian’s dream is to escape Russia.
Sad.
Russia is not like the US - nearly the whole country has pre-industrial levels of development.
I have been fortunate to travel in Russia, mostly the remote parts, for a total of about 3 months. It is a singular place, and I remember fondly the spirit and hospitality of its… pic.twitter.com/OS9h4pFb6k
Also, it is absolutely possible to despise Putin, but support Russia. Navalny would have made a perfect president for Russia, simply tragic what happened to him ...

Yes Biden like many authoritarian leaders need an active enemy to distract from leadership failures, and also to maintain power. Just like 1984

Yes. Had Nuland et al not aided the violent overthrow of the elected Govt in 2014 that was friendly to Russia.

What was so good about Navalny?
He didn't imprison and kill his political opponents - decent start!
