This is the best summary I could come up with:

Days before Russia’s massive combined arms incursion, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley spoke for the U.S. military when he predicted to Congress that Kyiv would fall within 72 hours.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy defiantly declared the coming year one of “our invincibility.” American aid to the country offered a king’s ransom in artillery and anti-tank weapons through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, and the flow seemed unceasing.

The long-planned, high-risk, months-long Ukrainian spring 2023 counteroffensive failed, with Ukraine unable to regain territory seized by Russia.

After Ukrainian troops abandoned Avdiivka following some of the war’s heaviest fighting — the most significant loss or gain by either side in nine months — almost all advantages accrue to Russia.

Hamas’s stunning and savage infiltration into Israeli territory last October, and Israel’s gruesome retaliation, became the primary international focus of the White House and Congress.

In considering an aid package to Ukraine, Washington policymakers and their constituents must assess how long the cash and weapons will continue to flow and toward what end.

This was basically mathematically predetermined in “rate of shell production”

the problem is that Russia cannot be either appeased or, given Trump’s backing in 2025, stopped.

It is all of Eastern Europe that is going to be destroyed in the next decade.

And it is simply lack-of-spine among the rich countries that is making this so.

The appeasers of Adolph never stopped him.

The appeasers of Putin won’t stop him, or his successor.

( whenever Putin is killed, and he won’t die of old age, dictators never do, whomever replaces him is going to be the “puppet” that Russia’s financial-owner, China, wears: they’ll be allowed to be rich, they’ll be allowed to do some things somewhat their way, but they’re going to do what CCP orders them to do, and they’re going to clear everything with CCP before doing them. )

Europe’s accommodating its own future-butchery.

The sea-level-rise of Greenland dumping its icemelt can’t magically distribute globally into 1 or 2 metres of sea-level-rise: it’ll affect only the North Atlantic ( being much more significant in amount, due to being concentrated, so the Netherlands is … fucked ), for the 1st few decades, so Europe loses its port-cities AND Trump guts NATO AND Trump backs Russia in destroying as much of Europe as it can…

what’s happening to Ukraina right now, is going to be normal throughout Europe within 1 decade.

All: political, ClimatePunctuation, all of it was preventable, if human nature had wanted any alternative.

It’s like watching an addict destroy their brain & life with chemicals, while complaining that they haven’t an addiction problem, it’s people not going along with them, that’s the real problem, …

… until they die, and then their denial of addiction becomes “technically” true, because the don’t exist anymore.
