If only there was a 4 year long war where thousands of drones are flown every day both on offense and defense that we could have learned from ..

Problem is that there was too much propaganda in that war, that parsing propaganda is too difficult even for military watchers, let alone general public. Only when american weapons are being destroyed that, US MIC is willing to acknowledge that may be million+ usd missiles are not solution to cheap drones.

This is a completely unrelated problem, the US MIC is heavily incentivized to invent new problems.

Problem is also that your “Secretary of War” has fired two dozen of your most experienced military leaders since coming into office.

When the history of the American demise as a global superpower gets written, this war and the government behind it, will merit a beefy chapter.

These traitors will eventually be all prosecuted. They are all traitors with putin connections, every one of them.

nobody will prosecute them, unless there is regime change in the USA

Haha, by whom? There are zero higher-ups who are actually getting institutional backing and are in favor of this.

Look at how Mamdani didn't even get any backing. Quite the opposite, he was obstructed. And he's 100x more palatable to them than the idea of prosecuting the traitors.

There will be no prosecutions. Even if there's a situation where Dems regain power, they don't have the political capital or efficacy to prosecute.

Like how assiduously Obama went after Bush Jr. administration.

...and how decisively Trump was prosecuted for the 6/1/21 attempted ~coup~ tourism, and for how thoroughly the Epstein child abuse ring was dismantled, and...

Yes, the only chance the US has going forward is to primary all current incumbents and hold both party leadership accountable for complicity in treason.

Even that won't matter. The problem isn't the elected officials, the problem is that most of the county doesn't care either way.

The US and Ukraine have a direct relationship. They don't need to parse anything. Have people on the ground to watch how they conduct war. And bring people to the US to teach their learnings.

It's not that hard, the US just didn't want to do it for whatever dumb reason.
