    War is not up for a vote. The war machine will continue to operate regardless of what the House of Representatives does.

      Always has been. We saw how Obama ran on an anti-war platform in the middle of the middle east wars. Then he continued and expanded the wars after being elected.

      Very true. Russia doesn’t care what the US house thinks. They started the war after all. Russia continues to mobilize the war machine while the US fails to act decisively

        The US fails to act decisively because they don’t want the war to ever end. Give Ukraine just enough support to keep the war going forever, until Russia is bankrupt.

          Do you not see the contradiction in your statement or are ya just stupid. Russia going bankrupt could be considered a victory condition. Especially if concessions such as Crimea can be forced in a peace deal.

            Russia isn’t going bankrupt.

            What might happen is they just run out of bodies and the country collapses into civil war, 1917 style. Petrostates don’t go bankrupt, they collapse violently.

                  The citizens? Irrelevent, unless it can gain notable strategic advantages IE Dresden. The Conscripts? Yes. They could turn their rifles at any time they couldve draft dodged but they didnt, they deserve same as the Japanese, Germans, and Italians during WW2.
