Gone awfully quiet in here. Is Ukraine still winning?

Putin gambling that the west is a fickle enemy with the attention span of a tiktok video. He may be right. For the long term security of eastern Europe, we should hope he's wrong. One thing is clear is that Europe needs to be able to defend itself as the US can't be depended upon in the long term. This is this European generation's sudetenland moment.

I believe today is Two Years since Putin’s 3 Day Special Operation / Invasion .
Haven’t been keeping on top of it , but not looking too good for Ukraine 🇺🇦 …
The fervor to aid had cooled , other crises topping people’s attention , and
other geopolitical players distracting from This conflict at hand — which imo
is a Vital conflict that should need to be resolved to the West’s interest :: for it
to end the other way around - with Rus victory - shall extend the hardship ,
Europe’s cost of living , and will fuel Putin’s expansionist ideology and aims .
— ‘throw in there’ Alexei Navalny’s recent death / murder — and the new prez term for Putin .
There will be no political , economic , military security on doorstep of Europe with a Rus win .
And yet we are distracted .
It astounds me and saddens me so that my own govt is so politically corrupt and torn , that
Republicans will do anything , everything , and whatever to hinder the democrats
even if it’s at an unimaginable humanitarian and financial cost not only to our own nation ,
but to the World , and civilization . / Ukrainian grain exports at constant peril , now
Odesa being bombarded .
After having vetoed the UN Resolution for Gaza Ceasefire for the Fourth ( ? ) time , and
continuing to supply arms to Israeli govt in Their openly stated goal of genocide , how
would , how could US Ever Again stand staunch on Human Rights , and civility !?
Create a vacuum , Chaos will follow .
While we are continuing to funnel billions of dollars to the eradication of a people in Their
homeland ,
Republicans are holding up military aid to Ukraine — which conflict imo has a much greater
impact on the future of Europe >> and the World being so small , impact on global direction .
* :: in the case of the ceasefire - though it would appear that democrats are at the helm ,
it’s the powers that be in the background , the PACs , the Lobbyist that Dictate policy .
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
With US Prez Election looming and the state of our State ,
with future of our NATO membership in question :
Europe would do Well to prepare to become an Independent Power onto themselves .
Is That possible ?
Does EU have enough political / economic / military resources while hiring for Diversity ,
to face down an adversary on their doorstep , on their own ?
: While having taken on the near unimaginable economic burden of mass migration ?
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
