Could Ukraine Defeat Russia in an All-Out War?

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, fueled by the control over over 11 trillion in minerals in the Donbas region, has resulted in devastating consequences, including the loss of countless lives, mostly among innocent teenagers. The involvement of the Biden-Harris administration, which halted potential negotiations to secure peace, has further complicated the situation. American funds have now been funneled into financial institutions like BlackRock and JPMorgan, which claim rights to Ukraine's natural resources and fertile land. This facade of supporting the Ukrainian people is prioritizing profit motives over humanitarian concerns.

The territorial losses for Ukraine have been significant, while Russian control over resources has expanded beyond initial proposals. Leaders of both sides risk triggering a nuclear confrontation driven by profit motives. The human cost of this war is immense, affecting not only the land but also the lives and future of Ukraine's children, a lesson not learned from previous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where countless proxy wars were fought for profit.

Immeasurable Power Imbalance

The ability of Ukraine to eliminate around fifty percent of Russia's forces early in the conflict, despite the U.S. contributing only two to five percent of its military stock, highlights the immense power imbalance. A full commitment from the U.S. would lead to a swift defeat of Russian forces. Advanced airpower, ground systems, and missile systems would establish complete air dominance, allowing for precision strikes on key Russian targets. The U.S.'s arsenal would effectively neutralize Russian defenses and cripple their ability to wage war.

However, despite the overwhelming capability, the U.S. has remained cautious to avoid a direct NATO-Russia war, especially considering the nuclear threat. A full commitment would likely lead to the total collapse of the Russian military. The potential for global instability, and particularly the risk of nuclear escalation, has kept this scenario in the realm of hypothetical. Despite its military superiority, the U.S. has refrained from fully engaging due to the cost of global instability, although such action could quickly end the war.

It is clear that while Ukraine faces significant challenges, the power dynamics and external interests play a critical role in the outcome of the conflict. The moral and strategic implications of a full U.S. military commitment are monumental, and the world watches with bated breath as the situation continues to unfold.
