I've been telling y'all the Ukraine war is just a way to hurt the Russo-Sino war machine. The US govt doesn't care if they win.

Ukraine is considered the breadbasket of Europe. If Russia conquers Ukraine, it will control this resource. Russia would also be able to get recruits from Ukraine although they might not be very loyal. In World War II, Germany got recruits from the countries it conquered. In the invasion of Normandy, American troops captured a German soldier recruited from Poland. He promptly gave the Americans German positions. On the other hand, the 5th SS Panzer Division was composed of volunteers from Nordic countries including those which Germany conquered.
