I disagree. (Actually, you're correct in the universal sense.) Ukraine benefits. We do as well. The never ending gold mine of memes.

Switch parties in the Oval office and these numbers would be reversed. So much of modern politics is trying to keep the other side from getting credit.Recent polling by the Reagan Institute from June 2023 reveals a compelling story: A clear majority of Americans — three-quarters, in fact — believe it is important to the United States that Ukraine wins the war against Russia, a sentiment that transcends partisan divisions, with 86 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of independents expressing their support.
In general, a significant majority of Americans (59 percent) express their support for providing military aid to Ukraine. This includes 75 percent of Democrats and 50 percent of Republicans, although there is opposition from 41 percent of Republican respondents. The percentage of those who believe the U.S. aid has been valuable once they know that Ukraine aid accounts for 3 percent of the U.S. military's budget, the support jumps even higher, to 64 percent. Among Democrats, 77 percent share this sentiment, while among Republicans, it is 59 percent, and among independents, it is 46 percent.
US public support for Ukraine remains stronger than ever
President Biden should proceed to provide Ukraine with the much-needed ATACMS and F-16s for its ongoing counter-offensive to win the war.thehill.com

I have a cunning plan. The 82nd Air Assault brigade books all the empty hotel spaces in Crimea.All of us know there is a war and that Crimea is a warzone. However most Russian's don't. They are told there is no war and that Crime is safe.
As war nears Crimea, Russian occupiers are trying to lure tourists - …

A good number were given approx 12 months agoI hadn't heard of any deliveries of the FV107 Scimitar to Ukraine. Online I only see speculation that the Scimitar may be considered.
The important thing is that the poll shows much stronger support for Ukraine than some talking heads would have you believe.You're probably right.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians fight and die. It is indeed sickening.
I agree. But I'm not sure that the slow, chipping away at the Russian lines will lead to an assault on Crimea any time this year or early next. The problem is there are no other viable options. Ukraine doesn't have the ability to mount a self-sustaining amphibious assault.If I were in command of UAF, I'd drop the bridge and sever communications in preparation for the assault on Crimea. The peninsula must be the primary objective. Once it is retaken, it undoes Putin's foreign-policy aims of the last decade, and will be a defeat impossible to hide from the Russian people. It may well bring Putin's downfall.
That we know of.Ukraine doesn't have the ability to mount a self-sustaining amphibious assault.

I have a fantasy of modified cargo ships sitting in the Karkinyts'ka Gulf, seemingly loaded with grain, but actually loaded with an invasion force. But as Dieppe shows, landing isn't the issue, it's sustainability.That we know of.
Ukraine has been excellent at holding their cards close to their vest.
Please be a video of that battle posted laterThere is an apparent Russian attack involving several hundred tanks going on now but what are they down to. T-55's ?
Ukraine has the option of Leopard 2 and Challenger which are NATO defence weapons and well suited to standing off
and hitting a lot of targets in a short space of time. Last gasp ? Who knows.
It may be that whatever was added in the first place has had to go elsewhere to protect dumps or airfields
as those have been targeted in different areas since.

Those cluster bombs may have arrived at just the right timeThe attack on Sevastopol probably siphoned off plenty of drone-boat defenses.
That sounds like a death-ride in the making.
Mine is:
