EXACTLY MY POINT.

The West is using Ukraine as cannon fodder to inflict a "strategic defeat" on Russia. The US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, admitted this last April.

WHAT'S WORSE: The West is forcing Ukraine to attack even though they know there is no hope of victory. Now it is simply to save face, and avoid having to negotiate with Russia.

To answer your question: US warmongering Neocons want to see others die. Senator Lindsey Graham said last that he was happy with the way things were progressing, that if "we supply enough weapons, the Ukrainians will fight to the last person".

This year, he flew to Kiev and met with Zelensky and said "Russians are dying, and that is a good thing; the best investment we could make".
