The involvement of NATO and the US makes them co-belligerents in the war, and their support has been crucial for Ukraine's ability to continue the conflict. The incursion into Russia is seen as a desperate move by Ukraine, as they are losing the war and their resources are dwindling rapidly. The media narrative plays a significant role in shaping public opinion, with Western media often supporting Ukraine's actions and downplaying their responsibility for the conflict. There is a division within NATO, with some countries, like Germany, questioning the continued support for Ukraine due to fiscal concerns and doubts about the effectiveness of the war effort. The conflict has the potential to escalate further, but there is hope that a dose of realism and a recognition of the futility of the war may lead to a diplomatic resolution.
