The United States reiterated this Wednesday its support for the sovereignty of Moldova after a recent statement by the pro-Russian separatists of Transnistria.
That’s okay, because Europe has no interest in fighting other than diplomatic maneuvers like offering NATO (eventually, maybe, as long as there’s no risk of a fight).
Europe doesn’t need to fight. Ukraine is doing it for them and doing a good enough job that the Russian army, supposedly one of the world’s most powerful fighting forces, is being so reduced that Putin has not only resorted to a draft, but resorted to using prisoners as front line troops.
Ukraine absolutely needs funding and weapons. But getting European forces involved in a larger war doesn’t appear necessary.
Ukraine won’t be there in 5 years. Not at the current rate. Russia has captured enough of the politicians and electorate that nothing meaningful is being done to support Ukraine now.
I want that to change, but it seems pretty clear at the moment.
Edit: to clarify. My statements about politicians and electorate are aimed at Western nations that would otherwise help.
If read in that light and reasonably informed at all, no citation should be needed. See: Republicans, Le Pen, others.
It doesn’t address politicians being bent, but I think that part seems obvious enough here in the US. Since we’re both US-ian’s, Im fairly confident you’re aware.
No we don’t. Russia doesn’t have the resources to fight a war on two fronts.

I’m sure you can provide evidence for that claim.
