    The problem is that Ukraine is given enough not to lose, but not enough to win.

    The problem is that Ukraine is given what the West can afford to give, they haven’t got the industry to fight Russia’s war machine in a war of attrition anymore after deindustrialization and the shift to neoliberal policies. Sucks to suck, shouldn’t have shipped manufacturing to China to crush their domestic labor movement 😄

      They’ve been given the West’s surplus. The stuff that’s been sitting in inventory waiting to be decommissioned because it was thought to be obsolete.

      Turns out Russia’s “modern” stuff is inferior to the West’s obsolete stuff, though, so that’s been working pretty well.
