@MrKovalenko The trip was a huge success- its the long game. Poland is playing (temporarily) to its electorate. US postures, but reluctantly sees the value of UKR doing the required fighting. Money is better to give than blood and young people's lives. Mr. Zelenskyy must always continue

@alxgraef They said they went to war to prevent a war. Not good logic. If a Czar loses a war, its usually the end of them. The West can't let him profit from this, and he can't afford to fail to win. The West is failing to give enough power to win. Russia might lose some ground soon.
