remember also, Putin already framed this as a war against NATO .. so if that is the case, why not just give more weapons and OKs to Ukraine to push the Russians out of Ukraine ?
also remember the new alliance and the relative strengths .. China must be prevented from fully joining Russia .. and the only way to do that is to show them Russia will lose
He has been crystal clear since 2006, ever since George W Bush signed the expansion of Nato to include Georgia and Ukraine. Until then, Putin was very close to Bush Sr and Jr.
Putin infact wanted to a create or rebrand Nato into global alliance to go after islamic terrorists. Those videos of him actually conversing in english with Tony Blair, Bush, Merkel etc are still there in Associated Press youtube channel.
This all changed when Bush who listened to the deep state to go ahead with Nato expansion without including Russia. Further more CIA was funding the Chechen Islamic fighters to fight against the Russian state. This was made clear by Putin Tucker interview.
Then Senator Obama travelled to Ukraine in 2005 to inspect Sovier era bio/chemical labs. CIA has been using Ukraine to develop all kinds of research with congress funding.
Bottom line is US instigated this war by also doing a coup in 2014 overthowing a elected government in Ukraine. Also Lindsey Graham made it clear that its not about democracy but the natural resources that Ukraine has
Now as to whether giving Ukraine more weapons is going to change the outcome, the answer is NO. Every single media labeled game changer weapon being given to Ukraine as been destroyed by Russia. They are already out producing the combined production of Nato artillery, Rockets, Tanks and Drone production.
Yesterday the Chinese defense minister said that if Nato is directly involved in the Ukraine war, they will militarily start supporting Russia with weapons.
The cost that Russia can inflict on US Naval power and NATO bases will be devastating. Their Hypersonic missiles cannot be defeated.
If Russia still some how manage to loose territory within Russia or even the new annexed Ukraine regions, they will start using FOAB (russian version of MOAB which is 4x more powerful), escalating to tactical nukes . The moment US retaliates with nukes on Russia, expect a devasting counter blow from them, where everyone will be loosers.
All the other alliances that are happening now like China and Russia, Iran and NK getting closer is irrelevant. Since there is also another crisis going on which is the De-Dollarization and the growing debt, now add a WW3 to that and the cancer that is Islam.
