The most frustrating thing about this war is that the US could step in forcefully now with harsh sanctions against Russia and a large military package for Ukraine with ranged weapons as the centrepiece, and the war would end soon with a Russian defeat.

Belarus rarely makes Western headlines — but it should this week.
A quiet move by the Trump administration has just handed Alexander Lukashenka, and indirectly Vladimir Putin, an unexpected gift.

Per @massdara.bsky.social Russia is adapting, passing lessons to partners ... is NATO adapting as well? www.linkedin.com/posts/nikola...

Per @gabrielairosa.bsky.social, Moscow's strategic culture is still looking to a very big (& thus very short) war with NATO, & old school ways of doing things. 2/7

Somehow, but mistakenly, they thought that the US would still be a reliable supplier of arms. They would have done better fighting back. Everyone - russia, China the US - can see the EU will always back off. So they will keep pushing and keep getting.
