There are two different factors, of course we are going to keep assisting Ukraine, hovewer there is another issue.
We have given them our older tanks, older planes, some artillery.
It actually takes time to replenish it in polish army.
So we kind of cannot give them much more without hurting our own army...
Its possible that both sides wont be able to attack any more, as attacking requires much resources.
In such situation it might be a good idea to negotiate peace, even if that means Russian actually get new territories when compared to pre-war.
It would be better to force Russians completely out of Ukraine, but what can we do?

Good rule of thumb!

Russian Prime Minister? Which letter?

There were a lot of Ukrainian elite forces active in and around Bakhmut.

The so called counterattacks on the Northern and Southern flanks were apparently distractions to ease pressure on the Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut (elite Azov battalion attacked on the Southern flank)

So F16's being transferred over may seem like reality.

Escalation after escalation. It's as if the collective western neocons are hell bent on getting Ukraine nuked by the end of this.

As if anyone believes Russia has anything to gain from using a nuke.
Also the irony of Russia bringing its full military to bare, and then those crying about Ukraine getting a similar level of tech.

If you fuck about, you find out comrade.

Yup.....the Russians got their wish. Testing ground for proper US made hardware and Russian missiles. Everyone is watching with Great Interest especially Taiwan. They ordered 16 birds but not yet delivered.

What they would gain is the west at that point would get the message that further escalation would possibly lead to western capitals being subsequent targets.

We spent 40-50 years during the cold war fighting proxy wars and never came as close to a nuclear war as we have in the last year or so.

Why is there literally no public voices in the west calling for peace? To me that's the most potent indicator of what we're truly after with this conflict.

Sorry for destroying your copium but... Bakhmut is more a defeat for Russia which spent disastrous ressources to please Putin than anything else.
Ruscism makes you saying terrible things, noticed the whole page btw let's hope it will not jump back onto your face in few days or weeks.

Because the belligerents and the nations behind this drama have been preparing this for the longest time. They have a complete control over media and what we read and how to influence and steer us to support their narrative with fervor, passion and zeal.
Imagine what social media have done to humanity and what we are seeing now is the effects of it. We are reaching a breaking point and this is even worst than the Cuban missile crisis.
