Yeah, I think that there is definitely mixed feelings and there is declining American support for involvement in the Ukraine war, particularly as Republicans move more against it.
I don't think it does. I think that there is a reasonable argument that as part of a comprehensive strategy for forcing an end to the conflict, the United States should encourage Ukraine to prepare itself for making some territorial concessions in the interests of peace. Because Russia has some advantages in a long-term war of attrition, it has a lot more people. It has a lot more resources.

But an effective version of that strategy, in my view, would require the United States to credibly threaten to fund Ukraine's war effort indefinitely. So that Russia actually has an incentive to come to the table.

If Ukraine is going to be starting to draw down the military supplies it received from America, then six months from now, Russia might be in a position to conquer a lot more territory than they are today. Giving them that impression is not a recipe for a near-term peace. So what is? If I had a really good answer to that, I think that I would be potentially making more money at a different employer.

I think that Zelensky is in a position where he really does not...

I'm Eric Finman. I'm known for being the youngest Bitcoin millionaire in the world. I really support the Free Ross petition because he has been very unfairly treated by the justice system and the world around him. This is the greatest violation of the Eighth Amendment that I'm aware of in the United States today.
