Many historians have criticised the US for waiting 828 days before entering World War II to defeat Adolf Hitler.
Today, we are at day 777 of the Ukraine war, and I wonder if the US will beat the 828 day record, before finally deciding that Vladimir Putin must be defeated.
@randahl For Ukraine, it's a war they've been fighting since 2014, when Crimea and Eastern Ukraine were both invaded, so more than 777 days.
The best way to avoid the risk of having NATO boots on the ground is to arm and train Ukraine to a higher level, and stop telling them not to attack military assisting infrastructure within Russia. Harder to fight with one hand tied behind your back when your adversary is happy to attack civilian targets directly.
