internal policy is one thing foreign policy is something else. both parties in the US are happy to kick the shit out of russia ok.
the only reason why the US would waver is not because of running out of dollars but because their experts are telling them that ukraine is winning (and that therefore russia will have no alternative but to nuke them). where can i read about the us wavering ? /edit they are not wavering. forget about polls and public opinion, both parties in the US are delighted with the progress in the war ok. it will probably be a long time before the us backs down and only when the risk is perceived, by them, to be too high.

News around the world:

"STUTTGART, Germany—Inside a reconfigured conference room not much bigger than a high school basketball gym, more than a hundred troops from 30 different countries are planning, plotting, and tracking almost every Western bullet heading to Ukraine. In just the past several weeks, British troops, with help from their American counterparts, have transformed a sleepy conference room here at Patch Barracks into one of the nerve centers within the NATO alliance for fielding Ukraine’s weapons requests. Their task is to get artillery, tanks, fighter aircraft, ammunition, and nonlethal aid like helmets from the heart of Europe into the fight in the Donbas, with the help of a handful of Ukrainian liaison officers in the room working the phones with soldiers on the front lines."

Yes - clear evidence of the show must go on! lets keep sending ukraine weapons

"Polls show US support for Ukraine waning as Biden administration steps up aid"

No - its a poll, seriously its like gun crime in the US, who the hell cares about polls, ultimately the politicians get paid by the NRA, no new laws, and for Ukraine, the US is winning, who cares what some random poll shows, this is not a democracy ok, they are fighting for the greater good and god is on their side.

i will go edit my above post - no way in hell is the US pausing (yet). Why stop now, they are winning.

Keep in mind youre trying to make a case for an aggressor state. Beginning by annexation, then pumping eastern separatists in Ukraine with weapons and finally full-scale invading. Ukraine has done none of those prior to Crimea and the war in Donbas



Russia has consistently done airspace violations in neighboring countries in addition to its own military exercises near its western border.

The US backed a coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine because it was too friendly with Russia and not friendly enough with the west. We then seized Ukraine and micromanaged its new government, with the CIA picking officials and filling the oligarchy, in some cases directly replacing Russian oligarchs with CIA officials, because plausible deniability and subtlety are overrated.
Those who supported the coup can play word games and try to pretend its a transfer of power, but in the eyes of Russia its clear NATO aggression, and they have good reason to treat it as such.
Then when the eastern half of the country that supported the democratic government seceded and aligned with Russia, the western-backed west Ukraine spent 8 years laying siege to them in a hot war.

There's no moral high ground or legitimacy to fall back on here.

It's more complicated than that, don't forget chinese were not here, so we can't know if they would applaud. Maybe the situation wasn't very comfortable for them to they had another meeting ?

It was "Schrödinger's chinese who don't applaud"

Poisonous frog it was?

Pretty good read and feels like a much more honest view of reality. Can't help but feel bad for them.
