Ukrainians are starting to lay the ground for a failed counteroffensive while demanding more money for future efforts

Ukraine will not liberate all the Russian-occupied territory in a single counteroffensive and will require several successive counteroffensives to win the war. The US must prepare to resource Ukraine's successive efforts. More in my @TheStudyofWar

Just plain wow.

I am more and more convinced that the powers that be in Washington, foreign policy and security circles and think tanks live in a bubble where no outside voices will be heard.

Do they really believe that the American people are up for a 5 to 10 year war in Europe?  Do they really believe that the American people will happily fund such an effort?  The best question though is HOW CAN WE AFFORD TO DO SO WHEN OUR OWN WAR STOCKS ARE DEPLETED!

I've said before and I'll say it again.

Ukrainians are reading their own press releases.  They actually by the line that they're fighting for the freedom of Europe and the US.

They aren't.

If someone comes after the US then we got that.  We are more than capable of fighting for our own freedom.

But funding other people's?

That shit has been old for a long time.
