2/ The Russian forces persistently attempted to reach Ukrainian positions and disembark infantry into trenches. We previously reported on the assault involving tanks and MTLBs. While they successfully reached the Ukrainian trenches, they failed to achieve anything. pic.twitter.com/RoYe6JPvrz

Today, I decided to be brief.

They came, they saw, they died
To give some context to this figure, this would mean Russia has suffered more fatal casualties in Ukraine than the U.S. suffered in every war since 1945 and the Soviet Union suffered in Afghanistan; combined.

An absolutely staggering amount. https://t.co/7AxUL3AG9Z
The US is in talks with partners to lead a group of allies to provide up to $50 billion in aid to Ukraine. The idea is that these funds will be returned at the expense of profits from Russian assets that have been frozen and are accruing interest. https://t.co/JvO956aEoz

Gen. Hodges is spot on. We haven't even tried to win yet. But I believe the problem lies elsewhere. Did we really want to try? Or do we still fear Russian defeat even more than Ukraine bleeding out? https://t.co/gkyz19kvFl

I hate to say it but I do believe this, the West fears Russia being defeated more than anything else, so they're opting for an extremely slow bleed-out of Russian forces in the hope that Putin will magically wake up one day and be like "actually, this war is a bad idea, the West is right" and suddenly stop, despite the fact that Russia's entire economy has turned into war-mode and it'll be hard to change back now, Russia has positioned themselves to be in this for the next 5-10 years and when the country is in war-mode for that long, Ukraine won't be the only country invaded if they succeed, all Russia will know eventually is war and Putin is happy to send millions to their deaths to remain in power and Russians will never overthrow Putin.
Meanwhile Russia will manipulate and influence Western elections in the future when this war is still going on in 5 years from now, Ukraine support will be more attacked by Western politicians because it will be an easy target for far-right politicians, more pro-Russian politicians will get into power and decrease support for Ukraine, NATO will be fractured but the West can only think 1 day ahead and not years ahead of the consequences that this slow approach will cause because they're terrified that if Putin is defeated too quickly he will lob a nuke at us or something.
