Since Russia's SMO was their response to an existential threat offered by NATO, the EU, and the US blowing off their security concerns of having nuclear missiles sitting in the Ukraine, 5 minutes from Moscow, in addition the murders of thousands of Russan nationals in the Dombas by the Azov Brigades.

After the Ukraine refused to sign the Minsk agreements, the Duma had not other options.

Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) have every right to say what they like about Israel and the genocide of Palestinians as elected members of the US House of Representatives; they never took an oath to serve Israel . . .

I voted for Ron Desantis (R-FL) to be governor of Florida, not ambassador to Israel.

The recently ousted Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who took at least a dozen votes to get elected speaker, traveled to Israel immediately upon his election, declaring to the Israeli Knesset that the USA is steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine in their war against Russia . . .

Was he running for speaker of the Israeli Knesset too?

Following his ouster . . . McCarthy (R-CA) traveled abroad again, this time to England, and expressed his open contempt for the white Republicans who make up the majority of the GOP and praised Democrats for their diversity during a debate at Oxford in the wake of his ouster as House Speaker . . .

Is he now running for the Prime Minister of the U.K.?

Nevertheless, he is free to go on media tours bashing white people and lobbying for Israel, because he has now resigned from the US House of Representatives . . . I can only conclude that the collective RINO butthurt over former Speaker McCarthy is all about the Israelis who have hijacked the American deep state war machine.

It has become so painfully obvious, especially where you have someone like Nikki Haley wagging her finger and shouting down Vivek Ramaswamy in a presidential debate on live national television when the questions of this Ukrainian war against Russia and any mention of Israel are concerned, that the United States government has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Israeli Political Action Committee.

Very accurate take. One thing I’d also emphasize:

Russia, while having it’s own demographic issues, is still numerically far superior to Ukraine. We’re talking about a population of 35 mln (probably less now considering population movements) up against ~145 mln. I can’t recall the percentage exactly (maybe 60%), but there was an analysis that stated that once only a critical % of your able-bodied men are left, it’s a losing game for you.

Also a question. I’m curious as to whether you have any reliable sources on public perception of the war in Russia. CNN is always calling it “Putin’s War”, and my intuition tells me the underlying point they’re making there is bullshit, but that’s just my gut-feeling. On the US-Western side, I think people begin to lose interest the moment [Insert Event] is no longer the Current Thing (see meme). And currently, the Current Thing has become Israel-Palestine, which means Ukraine is becoming yesterday’s news for many people.

I don't have any indication of public sentiment about the war, except that people are wondering why this thing is lasting so long and costing so much. Few Americans still could find Ukraine on a map. There's also general souring on anything Biden does and says, with his approval down to around 35%. And Israel-Hamas has pushed Ukraine off the front pages generall, although it still pops up.
