Some countries in the West, maybe. I highly doubt Amerika would accept it
US is absolutely going to cut and run. In fact, this could be the start of a pretext for doing that. They know that Ukraine can’t achieve any significant victories, and this gives them an excuse other than having to admit that NATO ran out of production capacity.
These three papers in particular strongly indicate that US is going to pull out soon:

US hawks are starting to become worried that this war weakens US globally, and specifically in relation to China which is their main geopolitical rival. US doesn’t want to be stuck in a quagmire in Ukraine giving China free reign in the mean time. So there’s no choice for US but to pull out and discard Europe like a used condom.
Yup, this is it. They want to pull out so they can focus on starting a war with China before 2025 when they predicted China’s military will surpass them to a degree the US will never be able to catch up. I’m hoping though that it is already to that point and when things do kick off the US forces will get demolished.
They gotta have a reason to pull out so they can focus on starting a war with China. They know the clock is ticking to stay in power. They threw away too much resources on this. They have to try and find some way to hold onto their power.
Wouldn’t they want this happening when something starts with china? I feel like it would overall be a benefit for the west, specifically after Russia’s doubling down and mobilization. If Russia is at full military capacity when things pop off with china they would totally get involved.
The West cannot afford to keep pumping supplies into Ukraine AND turn all focus onto China. A proxy war with Russia is one thing. Russia can hold its own but China’s military is booming and accelerating. With tech that, in many cases, is starting to, or already does, surpass the wests.
Since there is no way for Ukraine to hold on without western supplies then they will loose regardless when the west pulls out. However the “harder” they loose the less there is for the western oligarchy to plunder. So they are trying to shut things down as quickly and painlessly (for them) as possible.
Yeah, and RAND recently published a study basically saying the same thing. In my opinion, it’s already past the point where US can take on China militarily, but it’s not past the point where US understands that yet.
We can only hope.
