       “It’s in many ways the crucial question that needs to be answered honestly now. Do we want Ukraine to win the war and liberate all its territory? Or Do we want Ukraine to be forced to accept a deal which hands over parts of the country to Putin? The rhetoric of western leaders is the former, though to be frank the policy looks more and more like the latter.”From Phillips O’Brien's weekend update. https://open.substack.com/pub/phillipspobrien/p/weekend-update-53-zaluzhny-and-the?r=1yxg0c&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

       @anderspuckI guess many factors play here, of which I want to point out two:- the rhetoric is one thing, but domestic popularity often requires to redirect funds promised to Ukraine;- Ukraine can be armed to the teeth but then the power balance will trip in the region for decades, which is not something the US and allies want.

       @anderspuck It appears that we only want to ablate RU military capability by feeding it confused Russians and rightfully angry Ukrainians. How shameful.

       @anderspuck  Almost every interview General Ben Hodges gives for the past year at least he's been pounding the message 'the west is not giving the goal of Ukraine victory clearly and unambiguously). And the need for long range missiles, particularly ATACMs, the 300km variant. And aircraft. I don't fully understant what Europe in particular is thinking politically, it's like they can't bring themselves to admit this is a war, and are still trying to pretned it's a special military operation.

       @anderspuck  Latest Ben Hodges interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlglfipDbK8 long form, from yesterday. From Silicon Curtain  https://www.youtube.com/c/SiliconCurtain/videos which has a surprisingly low number of subscribers given the quality of his interviews and content.
