If Russia was intended to continue advancing, they wouldn’t have dug trenches.

How to tell me you have no idea about strategy without telling me you don't have any idea about strategy.

Ukraine, too, is digging trenches. Now what, are you claiming Ukraine doesn't want to regain its territory?

proxy war

Oh, indeed, some truth at least: Yes this is a proxy war between South and North Korea. South Korea's proxy is Ukraine, the EU and US (and a couple others), while North Korea's proxy is Russia.

See, both sides to a conflict need to be proxies for something to be a proxy war.

It’s within the US’s best interest to keep the war going on as long as possible

First off, no it isn't. Secondly, that's not European strategy. Thirdly, if that's US government strategy you should call your representatives and tell them to deliver weapons ASAP so that Russia can be thrown out of Ukraine quicker.

War goals don’t need to be achieved for Russia to declare victory.

Indeed, Russia could withdraw and Putin could still declare victory. That's not what he's doing, though: He legally annexed the whole of even Kherson and Zaporizha Oblast, I think even Odessa (broadly speaking: The whole Black Sea coast) and any "peace offer" heard from Russia includes Ukraine giving up those territories which Russia doesn't even hold.

You think this is a proxy war between North and South Korea?! Welp, now that you've showed your hand I can see I'm debating a moron and there's no winning this one. Enjoy eating crayons, little buddy

He was mocking you. Your translation software didn't handle the nuance of sarcasm.

woosh.

I apologize that your joke was so asinine that it went over my head. You should probably look up proxy war so you can understand it better and improve your shit talking. The US is using Ukraine to make money and stopping the war stops the war money. Either way, you're a big dumb dummy and you should go outside and touch grass
