Look at Haiti it’s a craphole that nobody is interested in helping because it has absolutely nothing to offer the benefactor.

In order to understand what the future of Ukraine is I think we first need to understand what the West’s motives are for supporting Ukraine, in other words what’s in it for us? Freedom and democracy or liberating Donbass isn’t the objective might be nice if it happened but I don’t think it’s really all that important to us. Crimea is in order to control the access to the Black Sea, and gain access to all those natural resources in Central Asia and don’t forget pipelines baby. To get that we need to drain Russia’s regional military and political influence and we need Ukraine as a spring board to projecting into Eurasia. I just don’t see us going anywhere or abandoning that, it’s just too important of an opportunity.

Ukraine just needs to make it so untenable that Russia soldiers give up, pack up and go home. Given time Donbass might even just get fed up and want to come back into the fold all on its own too. Ya never know.
The west has not lost in its military power, it has grown Russia lost not only on the front they are losing out of their reserves it can not exploit its reserves the Black Sea fleet has lost 15 ships and damaged 12 it does not control the Black Sea any more if we and Ukraine can go on like we do now we make of Russia a regional power it will totally change globally said Ukraine does the killing here we only need to send support.
