U.S-supplied anti-tank weapons could change the balance of power in favor of Ukraine.

In an interview, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Ruslan Khomchak said that following the advice of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) advisors, Ukraine’s American-supplied Javelin anti-tank missiles would be moved up to Ukraine’s front lines in their conflict against separatists in the country’s east—though the missiles would have to be used only defensively.

Any bets how soon they would be sold to confederates who'd bring it to Russia for reproduction? It was the case with US-supplied counter-battery radars and drone systems.

". . . though the missiles would have to be used only defensively.""

ROTFLMAO

Yeah, every attack will quickly set up a defensive perimeter and Javelins will only used to defend the ground gained.

The Biden/DS/NATO cabal is desperate to get wars going in Ukraine and Iran at the same time. Too bad for them the counter to Javelins is to post an offer to purchase them for a high price, no questions asked, from anyone in Eastern Ukraine.

If Russia wanted Ukraine it would have been over days after the coup. Putin settled for Crimea.

Probably not. For the right price, the Taliban will sell anything to anyone. Russia does not want what they might sell to the Taliban ending up in the hands of other countries for reproduction or with Chechen or Turkmen rebels.
