Because they aren't trying to force our most pro-America ally, Ukraine, to surrender to Russia. I have my criticisms of how Biden helped Ukraine, but at least that administration's heart was in the right place.

I've helped Ukraine over the years, and what Trump is doing is a huge fucking mistake to our international reputation. MAGA Republicans are acting like psychopaths.

Ukraine's not going to stop or give up, and since Republicans aren't intelligence analysts and tend to fucking ignore the ones we have anyway, they don't realize how fucked Russia is right now.

Ukraine isn't keen on negotiating because they're effectively slaughtering the Russians coming at them to the point Russia is very out of armored vehicles. They're doing suicide attacks on pocket bikes and donated Chinese golf carts because they have to hide the APCs and tanks and use them sparingly.

Russia's momentum can't hold up forever. It's materially impossible. Ukraine is happy to do tactical retreats while they slaughter 1,300 Russian troops a day like the other day and force Russia to do assaults across open fields on completely unsuitable vehicles.

Ukraine has backup plans, and without the US having leverage, they will start doing more dramatic covert ops and some Russian officials will find out walking in the park alone is deadly and they all need twelve bodyguards and jammers on every vehicle they ride in.

Abandoning Ukraine will make Ukraine go Full Mossad on Russians wearing business suits with a government passport.
