We've been celebrating Ukrainian defiance and resilience in the face of an overwhelming military force. I think we're about to see the tragic reality that Russia has a MUCH larger military force and they are going to finally bring it to bear on the capital city and the city will fall to the Russians.

The very very sad part is about to start.

Unless someone does something. But I don't think any other nations will find it worth doing much more than throwing money at it.

I just hope that the "bardak" (in english that means that on paper everything is really nice, but reality is much worse) property of a russian army is not decreased when compared to 2014. I.e they have a lot of hardware than Ukraine and plenty of those who can push triggers/buttons while being somewhat safe (artillery, bomber pilots etc operators), but as long as NATO and allies are providing the intel and personal weapons - the war is far from over. I hope, that behind the scenes NATO and allies are doing much more than it is visible to us.

Money is the most powerful weapon there is. The USSR doesn’t exist because of it. The thing that made the United States so powerful is how much stuff we can make and the logistical ability to transport that stuff where it needs to go. Russia has started World War 3 and the world is trying to walk the line to provide help to “our” side while not giving the Russians an excuse to go nuclear.

Money doesn’t work as quickly as bombs and bullets. It won’t save the Ukrainian civilians in the short term. I won’t downplay how horrible that is. The Ukrainians along with whatever foreign fighters stream in to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with them are the ones with the heaviest burden, but money isn’t nothing. The planeloads of arms and rations aren’t nothing. The intelligence information from the most advanced agencies on Earth isn’t nothing. It is life support. Russia is bleeding from wounds we opened up with our money warfare and we are trying to keep the fight in Ukraine going long enough for Russia to bleed to death.
 
There is a long but really interesting read on ChicagoBoyz.net about how the Ukrainians stopped that massive 40-mile long line of Russian military vehicles. While shoulder-fired missiles were widely credited, the true weapon was something else. The Ukrainians opened up all the reservoirs in the area and flooded the areas around the convoy making the ground too muddy to drive off-road. Then all they had to do was disable a few vehicles at the front and it stopped what is now 20% of all Russian military hardware in Ukraine.
