No one should be surprised that American tax dollars, as always and forever, line the pockets of corrupt government officials and their cronies. American taxpayers wasted obscene amounts of money in the "war on terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan, billions and billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that disappeared without a trace.
Little wonder I'm starting to see more resistance towards giving any more of American tax dollars for this war effort.
There are few Americans who comprehend Putin better than our former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul. Here is an excellent opinion piece on the failures of Putin, chock full of informational material used to support the conclusion that Putin understands that Russia is losing in Ukraine.
It is hard to escape the sense though that the best days for Putin and his ideas are behind him. Like Leonid Brezhnev in Afghanistan, Putin has overreached in Ukraine. He and his regime will never recover. Even if the process of unwinding begins in earnest only once he is out of power, Putin’s colossal failure in Ukraine could well be the beginning of the end of Putinism. The Russian president’s recent behavior suggests that even he might understand this fact.
Looks like the woke armchair generals won't get their WW3.

Couldn't tell that by reading some of the posts on this thread.
