I don’t understand all the half measures everyone keeps doing. Sanction them to the fucking stone age and give Ukraine the stuff it needs to decisively gain ground in this thing. As is, this has just needlessly drawn out the conflict.

I remember someone telling me at the start of the conflict that it would be more economically viable to keep the war on going than it would be to end it. The west has the fire power to end this conflict whenever it wants. But it wont make as much money ending it as it would prolonging it. I thought that was a very cynical view point. That was nearly 2 years ago now.
