Afghanistan had a heavily armed population in a mountainous and very cavernous terrain where air support was a liability and heavy infantry/armored divisions were absolutely useless, not to mention a very motivated guerrilla popping up from every corner.
Ukraine is running out of their sponsor’s money and gear, and they have to kidnap young people off the streets to get enough cannon fodder. That’s not even close to a comparable situation. Try living in the real world for maybe an hour and you’ll stop being blindsided by your copium dreams.
I have no idea how all this will end. However you might want to consider that west has put very little effort into helping Ukraine. Both Russia and the US have not lived up to their obligations. Both guaranteed the intergity of Ukraine by treaty. Russia invaded and the US and the west did not stop it though we could have at any time.
The only way the US could have stopped it would have been not to coup Yanukovich in the first place or engage in an all-out war with Russia that would kickstart WW3 and, most likely, nuclear war.
As Marxist-Leninists have been saying from the first month of the engagement, the point has never been for Ukraine to win with full support from the west, but to use an expendable proxy to attempt weakening a perceived threat with as little commitment as humanly possible, I can’t believe y’all keep falling for the same transparent playbook.
Exactly. To go further this was a 100% US initiated war. A propaganda strategy meant to fake otherwise in order for Russians to think they should not defend themselves was only a strategy to maintain our sides weapons profits. The main US victory in the war was capturing Europe energy and weapon sales, and instilling a militarist attitude towards Russia. It would be an even greater US victory if Europe spends 5% of GDP on US weapons to lose a fight against Russia on its own.
Yes, I have wondered about the partial support too.
Might be true. However never under estimate the indecisiveness and incompetence of US leadership and take it as a plan. Russian propaganda and the MAGA crowd too have had big effects also. By in large too the west wants Russia stable. Besides Ukraine is not a core issue in the US.
So there is no way the Taliban beat both Russia and the US in Afghanistan?

Are you talking about the Minsk agreements?

Nuclear weapons are useless. No one can use them.
