Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Ukraine still has a path to victory and allies can help it defeat Russian forces by contributing a chunk of their economic output to the war effort.

Every member of the so-called Ramstein group — more than 50 countries including all 31 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — should channel the equivalent of 0.25% of their gross domestic product to Kyiv annually, Kallas said. That would raise at least €120 billion ($131 billion) and swing the conflict in Ukraine’s favor, she said.

    That’s how Vietnam+USSR won against USA and how Afganistan+USA won against USSR. Just keep doing it until somebody who understands sunk cost fallacy pulls the plug.

    The bad part about this particular war is that taking Crimea involves a lot of offensives, which are notoriously difficult to pull off. Especially if the enemy is fortified in. But then again, it did work against USA in Vietnam so why not here.

    If they could just get that bridge… keep pummeling various targets inside Russia, Crimea, everywhere until they’re spread out so thin that a massive strike at Kerch Strait gets through.
