looks like russia is almost broke and if ukraine holds out for ten more days russia will have to give up because they will run out of supplies.

The war costs about $20 bln/day. There are rockets for 3-4 days at most, they use them sparingly. They lack weapons, the Tula and 2 Rotenberg plants can’t physically fulfil the orders for weapons. Rifles and ammo are the most they can do.

Russia’s whole plan relies on panic – that the civilians and armed forces surrender and Zelensky flees. They expect Kharkiv to surrender first so the other cities would follow suit to avoid bloodshed. The Russians are in shock of the fierce resistance they have encountered.

keep in mind when the west first invades they get opposition soldiers laying down weapons on mass cause they know whats coming. here though in ukraine, that isnt happening because the truth is, russia has nowhere near the military the west as in usa , british , france, ect ect has. not even close. what they do have is some nukes, without that russia is canada but bigger. useless in a big war.

I've seen reports that the former president, Poroshenko, is armed and ready to fight as well.

Whatever you think of their politics of policies, these are leaders. No bickering, no finger pointing, no accusations or criticisms. The time for that is not now. They are united in fighting for their country, their people and democracy.

This is what a country united in crisis looks like.

Will the EU do it? Bring Ukraine in during a war with Russia? IMO only, seems like a naive request at this time.

I would not foresee him leaving his country behind to fight alone.
He is a brave man.
As an aside, I have never wished death on an individual at any time before, until now.

Sure, with the possibility of increasing that to two in the next year or so? (China)

nato has said that ukraine isnt joining nato any time soon. they would have to get russia in nato first. sweden an finland i could possibly see fast tracked maybe. people think nato is a club anyone can join doesnt know anything about nato or why it is a thing in the first place.
lets face some facts, the american could stop the russkies in one day , its clear that russias army is no match if they cant take ukraine in less than a week. lots of reports of russian troop morale low because their heart not in it , plus Ukraine shot down two russian transports in same day , that just under 500 russian soldiers dead where they landed. the russian soldiers alive still see that stuff or may have friends and family on them planes .
on other side, everyone is joining in on the fight, who towns in ukraine are in hidden locations making bombs for the troops to use. american special forces are tweeting that they would follow ukrainian soldiers into battle in a heart beat. that says alot to anyone that knows the pride the american special forces have inside themselves.

It may look like gallantry, ... but arming untrained civilians and putting them in a harms way against well trained and by far superior military force is utterly irresponsible. This is not some Thermopylae.
