Does whether or not Ukraine can win affect the calculus for the Biden admin in any way? Politicians on both sides have described the war as a way of killing Russians without spending a single drop of American blood, and every bomb sent justifies/enables more campaign donations.
The only thing that would be problematic for them would be a quick victory or loss.
Dems? None, but Trump could get some lazy reps or hawk centrists to vote harping on how dems are incompetent at imperialism and he would be better. After all elections in US are usually decided not by % of supporters but who mobilises their voters better to move their butts to booth.

I imagine the dems understand that Ukraine can’t go on for much longer, but they just want it to hold out until the election is over.
It’s hard to imagine why. What is the constituency that’s going to be demotivated from voting against Trump if Ukraine sues for peace?
An Afghanistan style debacle before an election would be a pretty big blow for the dems.
