The French army is struggling to recruit, (as in all Western countries), it lacking 2000 men in 2023. This is the first time this has happened in French history. We are simply not ready, neither mentally (people don't want to go to war), nor socially (the popularity rating of leaders is lower), nor industrially (our economy is based on services, we do not have the industrial capacity we had during the Cold War). We have disarmed and deindustrialized this country for decades, it will take decades to coming back and when you see the "elites" who rules France (and it is the same in all Western countries), I am not sure we're taking the path.

Probably at least another 2 years, yeah. Russia doesn't seem capable of breaching Ukrainian defenses so far and with every month they fail the long term prospects for a total victory become more dire. This is because Ukraine adopted the Russia defensive tactics shown to the south to stop their attack, and so are now just like them just building line and line of defenses. Obviously if those are given to much time going anywhere quickly in Ukraine will become a complete hell. Especially considering so far Ukrainian defenses inflict incredibly lopsided losses on Russia forces. Russia could easily lose their bid to take over all of Ukraine in such a case, being forced to have to leave the larger part outside their control. It's even conceivable Russia could have an internal coup in such an outcome, as one imagines the armed forces and elites would be very much not amused at such a defeat and the immense economic losses.

It's probably helped US/EU militaries immensely. Most of the weapons and equipment we (the US) have pledged were equipment and arms that were going to be decommissioned/destroyed anyway, and I'm sure it's been the same for most of the EU. For that aid and no risk to our own troops, we learn Russian military capabilities in a wartime scenario, the effectiveness of our weapons against Russian armor/aircraft, and we get to learn from both the Russian and Ukrainian mistakes/victories and the viable/enviable tactics/strategies being used. This has also highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of the Russian military, from how they use their equipment (they seem to be very bad at combined arms fighting/integration) to how they produce it (seeing how quickly they need to turn to "allies" to shore up their own weaknesses) and has financially left Russia in a much more weakened state even if the war was to end today. The information we (US & EU) have gotten from this war exponentially dwarfs the monetary value of our aid.

As much as, for the time being, a French direct intervention sounds implausible, that actually gives some food for thought, academically speaking. There are foreign military forces around the world with an international mandate to inforce peace in conflict or former conflict areas, such as in Kosovo or in the African Central Republic - where my country's Army (Portugal) have been present for years. First Gulf War Allied forces were put in motion under such mandate. I'm aware we are speaking of an ongoing conflict, with one of the beligerants being a permanent Security Council member. But diplomacy has allways been a key factor in wars throughout the ages, so the presence of foreign armies in Ukraine, outside the theater of operations, doesn't seem something that unthinkable... Once again, food for thought.

I'm American. I really don't think saving Ukraine is worth the threatvof being drug into a world war. I also dont agree with all the money and arms we are giving them. That debt will be my children's burden and the weapons will have to be replaced to maintain our own battle readiness. If i thought they could win i might have a different opinion but its becoming clear that they cant. We are weakening ourselves and allies in a war of attrition thst is hopeless at best and dangerous to us all at worst. I understand the military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. I understand that Ukraine is known to be the most corrupt country in that region. The fact that the media is all in for this war and carrying water for the biden administration makes me leary of anything reported by them. There are too many reasons in my opinion not to trust what we are being told and too much money changing hands. Zelensky doesn't come across as an honest leader either. A country isnt the land its the people and their culture. He is losing something that cant be replaced by sending his people into this meatgrinder. He needs to sue for peace and if that means he rules a smaller country then so be it. When will the loss of life be too much?

Fortunately Europe is still upping its contributions then, so I'm doubtful they don't have strong enough leaders as such. Plenty seem to be willing to provide more aid as they are able. Though of course that is also the problem, Europe was in a pretty deep peace economy, so cycling up their military production takes a fair while. Still two years later there are definitely quite a bit more of them now running and being built.

@@what5772Ukraine had an official neutral position before the Russian invasion and had no intention of joining NATO at all. This position change only occurred after Russia invaded and forced Ukraine to reconsider its military situation. It's just Russia's excuse that such a thing would happen. And even if it for some reason had been a thing Ukraine actually wanted to do, it's not really Russia's business to tell sovereign nations what they can and can not do. Truthfully though, it is Russia that had reneged on its treaty obligations. After all they had guaranteed Ukraine's borders as well as its full economic freedom for them giving up their nukes. Yet a decade later they were meddling in Ukrainian politics via economic means. And then a decade later violated Ukrainian borders as well. Beyond that, the closest border to Moscow is the Baltic nations, which are already in NATO. And the war itself caused Finland to join NATO as well, which now has put Russia's second city St Petersburg extremely close to NATO borders now, as well as the supply and support routes for two of their most important naval bases. So the entire thing about distance to the border is a pretty fictitious thing, just an excuse made up by Russia that was never under any real threat because NATO for one can only be activated defensively and secondly has absolutely zero interest in getting involved in a nuclear war, something the Russian invasion of Ukraine only further proved. The developed nations have far to much to lose to go for such utterly imbecilic gambles that gain them basically near nothing even if it went well. Thus Russia was under no threat, it never was under threat, it wouldn't have ever come under threat. In the end Russia's elite were just far to arrogant to listen to anyone else and just acted out their desires and greed with not a care of what the actual peoples wanted.
