I mean, it is. A years long war of attrition instead of full on boots on the ground is great business for everyone except Ukraine.

Between this and Israel, the American military industrial complex is well fed and well employed. “More war” they say

Obviously there’s a proxy war between russia and the west in ukraine, but I don’t think the US wants a long attritional war.

They could have done more to not end up in one, but I think escalation management really is driving a lot of decisions in washington.

Yeah, they probably told the Russians they were going to greenlight the Ukrainians way before they told the Ukrainians.

Which is tooth grindingly frustrating, but I can’t fault Biden for his efforts to avoid nuclear exchange.
