“I do believe that the only viable way to respond to this tragic news is to provide more assistance, more weapons to Ukraine,” Edgars Rinkevics says, adding that “to some extent, the possibility of a better Russia, a more democratic Russia, currently lies not in Russia itself but in Ukraine.”
“I believe we still have this very wrong narrative that ‘we are going to support Ukraine as long as it takes.’ We should change it to ‘we are going to support Ukraine to victory, even with all the issues [and] problems that we now face: funding, a bit of fatigue,’” he says.
“But I think that this is a major, important message that the leaders of the free world should send: We will support Ukraine until victory.”
America absolutely and totally won the WW2.
Everybody else had to bow to the US. That’s the reason why we all are ‘living in Amerika’.
@msage @bstix The US turned up to WW II two years late. The war had already been fought by others, for two years. When they did finally, reluctantly, arrive, they were of some usefulness. The war could have been won with great difficulty without them. It could not have been won at all without the Russians.
Sure, but the aftermath was total US hegemony, uninterrupted for decades.
I will call that a global win.
@msage
Only an American who has been fed propaganda all his life would say such a silly thing!
Gold standard turned to US dollar backing?
Massive debt traps all over the world?
Doing anything, and everything to ‘stop the red scare’?
Dude… Just no.
Nobody won anything. It only kept the Nazis from making things worse “Congratulations, you’ve won a nothing that you didn’t have before.”
USA didn’t do much on the European battlefield until it was already over. Nazi Germany lost mostly because of resistance and Russian cannon fodder.

How is that not a victory for Americans?
Entire country got jobs at factories.
Almost no damage locally, while Europe got torn upside down.
Again, US dollars became the base for other countries’ currencies.
Yes, that is a massive win.
