America is in a state of managed decline, and it will exacerbate if we continue to hemorrhage taxpayer dollars toward a foreign war.

And he is right. We can't continue to give money and weapons indefinitely. Basically, Russia is bleeding us dry with their war.
 
Did you post the wrong link or has there been a switch made to protect foreign policy?

We are also bleeding Russia dry. So who will say "uncle" first?

I agree its time to negotiate, specially if Ukraine is told privately, "we're getting close to the end of military aid."

We're into a situation now in which Russia is going to demand negotiations on their terms. That which can't be hidden is the Ukraine is being systematically destroyed , their military being slaughtered, and the civilian population leaving.

And Russia is definitely in it for the duration with Putin.

America made a big mistake in thinking that Russia was going to be easy.

But more important than all else, Russia offered a peaceful resolution!

Russian peaceful solution
-You let us keep captured territory
- You stop attacking us
- The West drops sanctions

Ukraine peaceful solution
-Russia withdraws from Ukraine territory
- Russia pays reparations
- Russian war criminals prosecuted

No! Nor even close to the end of America supplying weapons.

Besides the number of Americans fighting in the Ukraine now, the numbers will be increased dramatically. The war now calls for thousands more under the cover of being the mercenary soldiers claim.

This will result in an uptick in Russia's military's lives lost, but there's no chance of breaking their resolve.

America didn't say Russia would be easy. Russia said Ukraine would be easy, a 3-day war. Russians are leaving Russia rather than fight in Ukraine. The Ukes are solid.
Ukraine is also in it for the duration. So either the Russian economy collapses. Or the Russian army withdraws due to the unsustainable losses.
The US and NATO will support Ukraine, as long as it takes. Its simply a matter of when Putin sees there is no point in continuing the fighting.

The United States and Ukraine’s other allies should do what is necessary to help end the war sooner, rather than later, and thus reduce human suffering. But they should seek a realistically sustainable peace, rather than a truce that simply postpones — indeed, virtually guarantees — further war. This means helping Ukraine defeat Russia and working to establish a European security architecture that maintains the peace going forward.

No, more likely that the disputed territories are proclaimed to be neutral and possibly administered by the UN.
But Russia is going to be demanding an ironclad agreement that can't be reneged upon by America.

Even so, the peace will contain facesaving mechanisms for America, and claims of victory. It has to be!

What about Crimea? Could that be the off-ramp if Ukraine gives that up?

That's not actually accurate. Russia is drawing off it's full capacity. The West is drawing off of it's surplus capacity. Two very separate ledgers. Once surplus capacity is used the West either stops supporting Ukraine or draws off it's own military units depleting and denigrating their readiness.

Stop right there my friend. Ukraine is already close to ceasing to exist as a country. Nearly half the people have moved on.
So either the Russian economy collapses. Or the Russian army withdraws due to the unsustainable losses.

Zelensky is a willing lamb to the slaughter, on behalf of his people. He may never surrender.

Russia will nuke Kiev before accepting defeat to America. The Ukraine has nothing to do with it, other than their donation of the battle field.

My comments are for the purpose of facing reality but are second to my interest in a humanitarian peace before the rest of the Ukrain's population are either displaced or killed.

Russia wants more than just Crimea!

But the peace is still possible as long as it contains a guarantee to Russia of complete security from further US/nato encroachment.

The West is re-supplying the items as they are being shipped to Ukraine. I don't know how much time lag there is until the items are fully restored.

Nope. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. If they want to join NATO, they can join NATO. But the permanent borders are set at the peace agreement.

Do you have a link that states anyone in the Russian government or military ever claimed it would be a quick war? That silly claim was debunked as Ukrainian propaganda long ago. A quick war and long insurgency was the Western goal. Russia watched what happened in Iraq, what makes you think they would use the same strategy in Ukraine? It doesn't even make sense.
