Zelenksy is the lesser of two evils. This whole situation is just Eastern Europe being Eastern Europe, not much different than us intervening in the Middle East.

Russia invading Ukraine is a centennial event, they do it because all Russians would die without their breadbasket and winter ports. The prospect of Ukraine joining NATO is an existential crisis for Russia. Even if Putin is dying, whoever takes his place will probably continue the war effort.

Russia is a paper tiger, and always has been technologically speaking. They have the uncanny ability to die by millions and keep on fighting though. They are far more willing to suffer than us fatties in the west are. I don't think we'll win. One cold winter in Europe will have them kissing Putin's Superbowl ring.

If Brandon actually wanted to stop Russia, he would open up pipelines and expand energy production. Putin loosing his leverage over Western Europe would be far more effective than any of our weapons. The Brandon administration wouldn't get any emergency wartime powers though.
