I’m 100% in support of Ukraine, bit this is NATO and frankly the US winning this war using Ukraine lives on the ground.

I mean, you can see it that way, but NATO is only sending equipment. The people on the ground are still Ukrainians (and a miniscule number of foreign volunteers). Logistics is important, but it's still only one part of winning a war.

NATO is effectively running the entire command and war. They are using NATO intelligence that NATO chooses to send. They are using NATO designed weapons that NATO allows them to use. They are training units to use NATO tactics. The EU/US, so basically NATO, and still mostly the US btw (for all off this), is sending billions in economic aid. They do not listen, that goes away. They do not have the resources to fight a massive country like RU.

You are living in fantasy land if you think a small country with a GDP of 156B is going to win a war with a nuclear armed power with a GDP of 1.5T. It's like you people just ignore the first week of this shit where RU forces were shelling multiple cities. They were fighting for the core of their country 1W into the invasion. And power to them. They fought like hell and fend them off.

Then the US stepped in, started sending weapons, and UK/ FR/US intelligence while fucking Germany sent helmets and made some last ditch efforts to justify nordstreams continued use.

People hate this because they think pointing out that Ukraine has received aid is the same as denouncing their entire army or some stupid shit.

You're right as the day is long, but you're not fawning and showering them with praise, so people will hate you.
