Perun analysis of Aid to Ukraine, 1 hour + video-
"Aid to Ukraine has evolved dramatically since February 2022, and there are few topics that have attracted more constant press coverage away from the battlefield itself. So today I try and set out how aid has evolved, who the major contributors are, and the impact aid has had - and may have in 2023."

One cannot speak with credibility on this subject without having closely followed "open source" over the past year - but this video is IMHO an essential catch-up on the entire subject. It is long but necessary. It answers a host of questions and shuts down another mass of uninformed commentary.
Perun is a British/Australian military procurement financial analyst apparently currently based in Taiwan - or so goes the current Youtube wisdom. He has gotten a degree of Youtube fame for his staff-officer type Powerpoint briefings on Ukraine War, based on following "open source", such as military and trade publications.
Hope his bags are packed.
PFL...thanks for posting.
The deep-state will be unable to start any new “forever wars” in the mid-east or elsewhere.
China, Russia and the BRICS will now have no qualms against feeding weapons to our opponents in such a case.
When are you going? It’s time to put your self in the 🥩 meat grinder
Go watch the video.
The biggest and most annoying problem with you guys is that you are simply LAZY. In my long, long experience, LAZY = worthless.

Watch the video. You aren’t LAZY, are you?
You getting paid to pimp this youtube site?
I am being paid from the United States!
(pension, Social Security, investments)
So I am corrupted, certainly.
Zelenskyy needs help.
Yes. Watch the video as to why.
Well, yes, up to a point. Watch the video.
We're wasting billions and depleting our own stockpiles and that is endangering our national security in the event we need to fight a war that does involve our national security.
What's the media hiding?

🇺🇦💀 The medical service of the 77th Airmobile Brigade in Bakhmut reports a very difficult situation and asks for 9 medical vehicles and 500 body bags.

Watch the video.
The capacity, and stockpiles, are there, way beyond the likely needs of a hypothetical continental land war - because this IS that continental land war.
That is also why countries in Eastern Europe have risked large drawdowns of their own stocks - because this IS the main event.
Those stockpiles btw are wasting assets. They need to be replaced with new tech and new materiel.

Lucky for the US then that it has the stocks to replace its current Army three times over.
