Where is the off ramp here? Despite billions and constant propaganda Russia is not going to lose this war on the battlefield.

How much money and how many people are we going to just send to their deaths just because prolonging the conflict weakens an adversary to US.

It’s really sad :(

We were in Iraq for 20 years despite it being so unpopular and illegal

The off ramp is whenever the defense contractors start losing money and it's not profitable anymore

Lol so never. They have a vested interest in keeping this a stalemate as long as possible. My tinfoil hat theory is the only reason Ukraine is barred from using weapons in Russia is that the US military industrial complex would love to see this drawn out for as long as possible. Every aid package is a boon to their stock price.
