basically whole world except USA and EU on Russia side
Here is another post to bookmark. I have an advantage. I have lived much longer than you, so i have seen all this before. I know how a conflict between a big bully country with a powerful army and a smaller country that doesn't want to be bullied ends. It ends once the big bully's soldiers discover their country has been lying to them.Bookmarked!
The Biden funding problem for Ukraine is mostly of his own making - the border aside.
In times such as now, all the dems and lefty media are talking about how it is vital for Ukraine to win. Except, Biden has always trickled weaponry to Ukraine at a rate that was intended to keep Ukraine from losing but not enough actually win- which would eventually lead to claims that no progress is being made. The Crimea bridge should be down by now and the Ukrainians should be over at the Sea of Asov with the land bridge severed by now- and they would be if Biden had no dithered. And that problem does not go away if Ukraine gets another round of funding in the near future.
The root cause of all the dithering is Biden's unlimited faith in Blinken and Austin who are worthless as tits on a nun. They are and have always been negotiating with the Russians backchannel and Biden never wants to be too aggressive because the Russians have scared him/manipulated into thinking that doing X,Y, or Z will put a brokered settlement at risk and that settlement is always alleged to be making great progress. In reality the Russians are just buying more time and manipulating Biden, as always. It is the EXACT, and I do mean to say EXACT same situation with Iran. Iran has manipulated Obama and Biden for years- and today on steroids- into believing that a negotiated deal is being worked- just give it another week and do anything aggressive to put it at risk. It works great for them abd has for years.
Ukraine will get more funding- Russian intelligence will put disinformation into Ukrainian intelligence sayin that they are losing and want a way out and are finally ready to cut a deal. The Blinken and Austin will tell Biden that we do not want to be too aggressive and put the Russians in a corner- "you have to give your opponent an off-ramp." And round and round we go. While the Russians buy more time to watch the west finally capitulate.
Blinken and Austin, what is it that they're avoiding, - putting rus on the edge/ nuclear ?
Guess the fools from Iran aren't taken seriously.

Amen.The Europeans need to figure out whether they want to win or not too.
Right now, Poland and Finland are the only two countries that are not deadbeats.
If Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, together had to fight the Russian Army they might be able to defend themselves for three days- maybe four. Germany would need to think about it for three or four months. I know they are all part of NATO, but NATO is dependent on member countries maintaining a certain level of capability- which most of them are not. Because the US is supposed to do the heavy lifting. Or so they think.
Russia has lost a staggering 87 percent of the total number of active-duty ground troops it had prior to launching its invasion of Ukraine and two-thirds of its pre-invasion tanks, a source familiar with a declassified US intelligence assessment provided to Congress told CNN.
Of the 360,000 troops that entered Ukraine, including contract and conscript personnel, Russia has lost 315,000 on the battlefield, according to the assessment. 2,200 of 3,500 tanks have been lost, according to the assessment. 4,400 of 13,600 infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers have also been destroyed, a 32 percent loss rate.
