a plan to bring down gas prices, tell us there is a plan. how long is it fair to expect american drivers and drivers around the world to pay that premium for this war? as long as it takes, so russia cannot in fact defeat ukraine and move beyond ukraine. jesse: gas prices aren t coming down until russia can to defeat ukraine? nato s whole strategy is to prolong the war in ukraine and turn it into a quagmire for russia. it s never going to end. we keep sending them billions of dollars for weapons and ukraine is slowly losing, that is not the plan unless it is to keep gas prices high, and that case it is a perfect plan. people have had it. and it shows, a new ap poll showed that 30% of democrats think that country is headed in the wrong direction. it has gotten so bad the media has stopped propping joe up.
scenario where the russians were making slow gains back in that window weeks and weeks ago. they are only making this incremental process right now. they are outmatching them in artillery and a massing them larger than the ukrainians can muster. it is over 100 kilometers. russia has advantages there. but in the long run, they re fighting over 600, 800 kilometers. russia cannot maintain the pressure. they will shift defensive operations in the future. the ukrainians will pick where to counterattack and gain ground probably more so in the south around kherson rather than the east. this is going to play out over a longer period of time. but in a scenario where the west is starting to flow in more sophisticated systems, that s critical. and then that s going to start to alleviate some of the burdens, long-term burdens with the ukrainians in the direction
