Russia has build so many fortification lines and tons of mines that slow down any advance to a crawl unless you're willing to send thousands of soldiers to their deaths by clearing the minefields with the method of stepping on them. Just look what happened with the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive and how it stalled due to this.

So no, even with the right weaponry it would take much longer to get the Russians out of Ukraine, especially in the south where they entrenched themselves behind those minefields. In the east it could be achieved more easily due to the constant advance of Russians making minefields useless, so reversing the trend will take time, doubly so as Ukraine is lacking soldiers, and without soldiers even the best weaponry can't do much.

Without equipment those soldiers and their trenches won't be worth a pile of crap.  Ukraine will also be making plenty of missiles within 4 or 6 months, and that could change things when every important rear ammo depot and command post no longer exists.   They may settle for peace, but Ukraine still has a chance to do enough damage to get a good deal once that takes place.  

I think my definition of "real support" will be different to what you think. If that "real support" would happen, Russians would be very happy to go back to where they come from. I don't just talk about giving Ukraine some more tanks and artillery. Even Russia's propaganda machine wouldn't be able to let it look like Russia is dominating anymore.

This seems like a good idea, knowing where Trump's loyalties lie

This is one of the few times that I get pissed off.  I'm gonna relax after this but i don't like it.  They get signed up after a promise of a large amount of $$$$ (if they survive).  Unfortunately, the oldest trick in the book is to send the units that you don't care about into heavy combat.  I think that King David in the old testament sent a soldier into battle and gamed the system so that he would have a very poor chance of coming out ok, and then proceeded to be the white night to some slutty woman now that her husband died (bethsheba perhaps).   

A benefit of this war is that Putin uses it to get rid of people that are not desirable for a strong state:  convicts, minorities, etc.
