True but tragically there'll be no peace deal and defeat will not happen this side of November.
I suspect the Biden regime will continue to cynically fund the war regardless of human suffering rather than allow his re election prospects to be severely damaged.
How many countries would you allow Putin to take over before maybe deciding to try and stop him?

Sounds very democratic.*
* This doesn’t mean I support Russia or think Russia is a democracy.
Is this your first day? They’re at war.
Still yet to hear from @Sick Boy as to why this should factor in to our thinking on how to end the war
Given that they currently occupy swathes of Moldova and Georgia the honest answer is at least one more. You won’t get that answer though. There’s also an argument that they occupy Chechnya, Belarus basically has a Russian Vichy government and occupies a sizeable Russian force there including the majority of what’s left of Wagner Group and they’re also in an ongoing territorial dispute with Japan over parts of the Kuril Islands that are part of the same island chain that Japan is part of. All the signs are there that Putin isn’t a man you empower with a military victory. All it will do is shift the fight to another territory. We’ve been here before and learned nothing in trying to appease Putin for decades and some still don’t want to learn from that with some rather naive idea that Putin being appeased won’t somehow embolden him.
So the relevance in this thread is what? That Ukraine and Russia, they’re just as bad as each other? Bad people on many sides?
Seems to have softened in the last few weeks though, allowing the new aid package.
For what reasons exactly remains unclear, but you can guarantee it'll be for personal gain.
And on that topic it seems the aid package is having an effect already, lines have stabilised, Russia taking horrendous losses for minimal gains and unable to expand any breakthroughs they do make.
And in the case of the specific example you raised, the answer being “Not too dissimilar from most wartime democracies” then?
Well Macron has been very categorical that it will happen if Russia break through the lines.
And as I have said before Ukraine absolutely could have won had the West continued with the appropriate levels of aid. Russia were only going in one direction and there was only one side capable of winning at that point. Sadly, the west let that moment pass and now it looks incredibly difficult.
But also there is no way Russia can conquer the whole of Ukraine though, that just isn’t happening.
Lol Macron sending the troops in without NATO consent
You accuse others of swallowing empty words and propaganda
You couldn’t make it up

He doesn't need NATO's consent, why would he?
I don't think it will come to it anyway. But it clearly upset Putin which I'm sure it was designed to do.
I didn’t say it was, but it’s not exactly unheard of from more credible governments either!
Worse still, they even break into your apartment and leave a shit in your toilet!
A wonderful source to get your news from. Lots of speculation and unsubstantiated guess work. I zoned out after they started saying Zelenskiy had had his opposition killed.
How Europe and Britain are getting ready for 'WWIII'
many European countries are reversing decades of peacetime policy to reignite their war engines. Others never stopped and are only consolidating efforts to ensure they are fit for conflict

Not like the Mail to have excitable, panic inducing articles !!!
It’s about time Europe started taking defense seriously though. Said a million times we cannot rely on US, especially if Trump returns to power, so all countries should be paying minimum Nato amount (2% gdp) not freeloading off others. By far the best deterrent
