Political changes in leadership in the U.S., Germany, France and other larger wealthy western countries could lead to financial & military support being dropped for Ukraine.
While your overall point has merit, we should not worry a lot about what France and other deadbeats do. They are as worthless as tits on a nun.
Vlad watches carefully to see how much anti-war sentiments will/are growing. But the real thing he needs to watch for is to see how fundamental a win in Ukraine is to Joe Biden's win in 2024. Joe just writes big, big checks and pulls the money out of his arse without any Congressional review or approval. I am not necessarily working that issue here. Just sayin, that Vlad should not assume that dissent over in parts of the republican party or amongst the electorate will be a show stopper for Joe. One could argue that he is hoping for a republican victory and that that somehow will make a different. Frig, that's two years away. Vlad will be in tough shape by then.
And not to forget that Vlad has an election himself next year. And yes we know who will "win," but it will create all sorts of grief for him and require him to do more martial law as the election approaches. And Prigo and Kadyrov and all the scumbags will use the election to pipe up even more cause Vlad grief.
Anyway, back to France. Deadbeats, pikers, and grifters.
Note that this does not even include equipment.
And the UK only gave them that much because Boris thought he could stay in power if he jockeyed around and made himself a hero to Ukraine. Didn't work but that was his plan. The UK could defend itself against an attack by another country for four- maybe six- hours.
