I don’t think it’s indifference. I think it’s that we’re less than 50 days from a presidential election, and the most important thing BY FAR that Americans can do to support Ukraine is to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t become president in November. We can focus more on the details of what’s happening over there after Kamala wins, but if she doesn’t, it’s all a moot point.

Add that to the very long list of war crimes.

Russia Could Be Able to Attack NATO by 2030: German Intelligence
Russia will likely be capable of attacking NATO by 2030 and is ramping up efforts to disrupt Ukraine's Western supporters, German intelligence chiefs warned.

Geheimdienste warnen vor zunehmender russischer Aktivität
Die deutschen Geheimdienste beobachten ein "aggressives Agieren russischer Nachrichtendienste". Insbesondere Spionage und Sabotage nähmen zu. Die Spitzen der deutschen Geheimdienste stellten nun klare Forderungen an die Politik.
a bit of conflict, no?
They were talking about this on NPR on my commute this morning. I haven't dug into it, but they were saying something about how Russia could produce the kind of arms in 6 months that Germany would take like 5 years. My first thought was that Russia has geared it's entire society around war at this point, so that's probably true, but Germany could and would shift if needed to match the threat. My second thought was Russia can barely handle Ukraine, so I'm not seeing the threat to Germany any time soon and likely not in Putin's lifetime.Russia Could Be Able to Attack NATO by 2030: German Intelligence

I do agree that the Russian threat means Europe is going to have to step up it's defense game, which it seems to be doing, and it means the money we are spending in Ukraine to halt their progress is some of the best defense money we're likely to ever spend.

I heard that too which is why I went looking.
The Germans have a trump card the Ukrainians don't. The US. 5 of our 7 European garrisons are in Germany.
If this ramps up participation in the war by South Korea it could ultimately be helpful to Ukraine. I don't think manpower is what will stop Russia from winning the war, but Ukraine has a weapons disadvantage that keeps them from fully utilizing their army. So extra troops don't move the needle as much for Russia as extra munitions would for Ukraine.
