Still finding this funny

Americans should give the Ukrainians a good few of their retiring A-10 thunderbolt warthogs , and let them convert them to super drone, autonomous weapons . Or even let some Kamakaze pilots loose in them and supply them a nil balance on the ledger .

Is someone confusing this guy with Jeffrey Sacks?

Must have been even worse in winter

Let's hope so. It's been a very difficult start to the year for Ukraine and at the very least this buys them time. Importantly it also buys the EU time to finally get its act together because the US might not deliver a package like this again.

And with every passing year scumbag Putin gets a bit older and more vulnerable and maybe more fractures will appear internally in Russia.

Would old MIGS not be scrapped for parts?

I say we just nuke Moscow from orbit...only way to be sure.

Get that reference and see what Russians are to humanity now

Any "peace treaty" not guaranteeing post war borders & Ukrainian territory by NATO forces won't be viable as Russia won't be stopped from tearing up such an agreement at a future date & invading the rest of Ukraine. The tankies & useful idiots, far right & hard left vermin won't want this as they demand total Ukrainian surrender as always, whilst "calling for peace", then demanding NATO be abolished.

Ukraine giving away the currently occupied lands to Russia means it would not be a viable state without proper defensive access to the Black Sea. Whilst parts of Donbas region could be handed over, both the south coast & Azov sea region & Crimea being also given to Russia would never happen unless Ukraine is totally conquered.

Maybe parts of Crimea & the Azov south coastal region could be a United Nations demilitarised zone, ensuring Ukrainian access to the inland sea coast after a peace treaty. That's all Russia will potentially get, Donbas & a bit more if Ukraine decides to do a deal IF NATO agrees to secure Ukraine's borders. To do so would require having defendable territories against a future Russian invasion.

I don't see any future peace treaty for another 2 or 3 years, even then there might be a ceasefire & no peace settlement, with Ukraine being in limbo, similar to the Korean peninsula. Until then the war will continue as both sides are essentially not beaten in a military capacity for a long time yet.

The EU & Western European governments now need to properly step up & ensure more substantial aid arrives in Ukraine by the end of the year. Everything Ukraine needs should be supplied unless Europe wants to deal with 10 million refugees displaced by a Russian victory, which would cost every European citizen much more in financial costs than giving Ukraine proper military & civil aid & assistance.

Just looking at the numbers for the USA economy at the same time is also relevant as the largest economy of one country in the world with a gross annual national product of over 25trillion dollars the new aid bill for Ukraine to assist it in its struggle against putin's terrorists amounts to less than a quarter of a percent of the GNP figure. The benefits to the US economy in sales of what it produces directly to Ukraine and also with a potential for an improved world economic outlook with a reduced threat from an expansionist military/terrorist nation then this investment could pay back financially to the USA multiple times over particularly if it helps bring peace back to eastern Europe where the USA has an interest in growing trade. It might be a marginal cost to tax payers in the USA this year that will very likely lead to economic growth that would lead to a lower tax burden on US tax payers in years to come.
