Joe is letting putin do whatever the heck he wants while funding Ukraine. Really it’s amazing watching a potus keep telling putin what he can do on a daily basis instead of getting ahead and ending the aggression. Of course joe has putin negotiating with Iran on a nuke deal for us so wtfdik.

Is he trying to delay the end so he can somehow entice NATO to enter the battle? Where is he getting the idea that is even possible?

Hard to see what the strategy is. They may win some battles, but Ukraine has no chance at a war victory against Russia. He should cut a deal before more are killed. The strategy is to give Russia another Afghanistan - which would lead to “regime change” in Russia. The Russians are sensitive to losing men - and they also seem to be sensitive to civilian fatalities (contrary to propaganda). Ukraine is getting a great amount of advanced weaponry. So, there is a good possibility that Russia may get stuck in Ukraine - in a war they can’t win easily - but can’t lose, either. Of course, it depends on how one defines victory - imo, they define it as formulated in their negotiation demands. The two possibilities I can see are 1) escalation - as much and as far as it takes. And 2 — call the opposition's bluff. Sharply increase their production of smart weapons - and use them, steadily, against strategic targets - as they have been doing recently - against military bases, weapons depots, airfields, and so on. For as long as they can minimize their losses, they could go on for as long as it takes - expecting Ukraine and the West to say uncle first. I hope they take the second path. The first one could be a fast track towards a global nuclear war.
