What's this?

NATO/Ukraine has made this very expensive for Putin.


We don't live in a perfect world. I don't think there is a win for Ukraine forthcoming, but there sure as hell are loses for Russia, very heavy loses. Their economy is in a collapse without a comparison in the past 100 years. Their military is humiliated and taking heavy loses. NATO is more unified than it's been in decades, NATO member investment in Defense is way up, investments in Russia's energy sector are way down.

The West could do more and there are more sanctions coming, weapons shipments including AA are also continuing and I'm sure the US has an invisible hand helping many of Ukraine's military successes.
