    That at least is an answer, and while I don't think it will happen (the collective west is doing to well from this) I do appreciate an honest attempt.

      Most of the collective west is currently undergoing a thinly veiled reccession and electing more and more unstable forms of government, like the neo-nazi gov of italy, the shitshow that is UK politics (which is doing worse economically than russia, a country at war) and the clown parade that is the american govs complete inability to do anything for its own people.

      There is already talk of pulling aid from Ukraine in many EU states like Austria and the US is starting to pivot towards Taiwan and has been calling this recent push 'Ukraines last chance', which they are admitting is failing.

      The paymasters are calling time.

        Yeah, I don't see it what with the re armament of most of these western countries. There does not seem to be a lack of last gen equipment to send.

          there is no re-armament, none of the western ecomonies are geared for war, only the american military is and they are done sharing there surplus.

          all that the west had to give was what it could afford to give away from its reserves without crippling there own defence sectors, russia has a active war ecomony, the west does not.

              cltr+f'd 'aid' on your first article, no results (other than it hitting other words with aid in it)

              that article is literally just about the military industrial complex being spun up in western europe instead of shit like housing lmao, nowhere does it suggest that ukraine will be receiving any of that, only that the money will be going to 'defence', this is not a war ecomony and I suspect you dont know what that is.

              furthermore I suspect most of that money will be spent replenishing all of the things they just gave away, you realize
