      This is a good point. You're not going to say "Well folks, it's hopeless" and follow it up by saying "we have come up with another 50 billion dollar military aid package." If you're a war profiteer you'll always say "you're so close to winning, but you need to sign just another supplies contract to ensure you make it over the line."

      That makes perfect sense but I would have thought ifthe US or NATO were going to intervene they would have... Certainly would before Ukraine falls to Russia which is what is happening...

        I mean, it's been intervening for a long, LONG time, though. Just not with overt violence from its own official military.
