That's a nonsense. Boots on the Ground, Soldiers with Guns remain the only way to wins wars.

Here's the thing, we on the other side of the planet and close allies with the US, all of us oceans away from the conflict and all we are hearing from Europe is dissent, disagreement and deliberate obstruction to achieving victory for Ukraine.
The UK gets a 10/10 for its support, well done you, even though we don't see you as a European Nation. France gets a 0/10, clearly isn't getting involved. Germany gets 5/10, remains a mystery why it won't provide tanks and clearly blocks any Nation that does, who's side are you on. Turkey and Italy the Jury is still out on who's side your on too. Sweden, Finland and all the former USSR countries clearly support Ukraine, good on you.

The war has been raging on for a year, we want to see it end, not by negotiation but by ejecting Russian forces out of Ukraine. If Ukraine is not liberated, don't think that isn't going to have a major impact on Europe and your NATO alliance.
