Nah.

@Foinikas , I am mostly neutral about this war. My only goal is to see the Neo Cons in Washington humbled and neutralized because I see them as THE greatest threat to humanity and Americans themselves. There are many Americans who think like me and their numbers are growing, thanks to the folly of the Iraq War 2003.
The moment America decides to pull out from this war WILL be the moment the war ends. All of Europeans or Aussies jumping up and down blah blah blah better be prepared for if and when that day happens and pre-plan your 'coping mechanism' or 'face savings'.
It is true that Russia can mobilize tens of millions more and even if Russia has to pullback its resources in places like in Syria etc, Russia will do that. Putin can't afford to be seen as having lost this war. A Biden in America can be seen to be 'humbled' by the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle in 2021 as was the American humiliated withdrawal from Saigon. But America is a mature democracy. Russia is an autocracy. Once you realize this key difference then you'd realize that Putin will never lose this war as long as he's alive and is the leader of Russia. He'd go to ANY extent to 'win'.
First of all, I don't really care what your stand on this war, that's personal feeling, and I am not your therapist, hence I don't really care how you feel just about anything.
As I said, you are reading this war wrong. US is not the party of interest of this war, so, no, even if US withdraw their support, this war will NOT end, because EU would keep their support. EU, not US have the biggest pot in this game. They are the one that have
EVERYTHING to lose if they can't keep it in Ukraine, because the alternative is the European would have to deal with the Russian themselves, ask any European, they would want to pay an eye and a leg to keep this war in Ukraine.
Set aside the European is willing to freeze themselves during last winter to cut off Russian gas and oil. If that didn't tell you how far they will go to keep this outside their circle. Then try this for a size.
UK is the first country to send in Anti-Tank missile, with the first batch of NLAW sent in even before the war begin on jan 19 and lead the effort for 5000 NLAW on Feb 24, followed by Biden announcement of Javelin on Feb 25.
France is the first one to send in Self Propelled Artillery Caesar on April 22, 2022, followed by UK AS-90 on April 24, and Belgium sending M-109 at the same date, and Poland on Krab sometime in November and finally US to send M109A6 in Jan 2023
M777 was jointly sent by the UK, Canada, Australia and US on April 22
French is the first to offer Ukraine Light Tank/IFV with AMX-30 in Jan 2023, then Germany and Sweden offered Maruda and CV-90, then US offered Bradley.
UK is the first to offer tank to Ukraine with 14 Challenger 2 sent on Jan 14, followed by Germany and US jointly agreed to send Abrams and Leo 2
UK is the fonly one to send Western Helicopter with 3 Westland Seaking sent to Ukraine on Nov 2022.
Germany is the first to send IRIS-T SAM to Ukraine in Oct 2022, followed by Norway/US NASAM in Nov 2022, followed by Patriot from US and Germany in 2023.
UK is the only country to send cruise missile with storm shadow.
Really the only thing US ever take initiative in this war is to send HIMARS to Ukraine before UK and Germany send their MLRS. But that could also be overshadowed by Greece and Bulgaria sending their BM-21 to Ukraine back in April 2022.
So bascially, if Russia win in Ukraine, that would spell trouble in epic proportion in Europe, so even if US ceased to support Ukraine, which in itself has very low chance, Europe by itself will see it to support Ukraine to keep it enough with the fighting contained in Ukraine, because the alternative for the European is to spend multiple fold of money and manpower and prepare for war.
And that is as far as I concern what you get wrong.
