"Russian offensive capabilities" weren't "neutered" - they never existed! That's been undeniable since March, and if US intelligence agencies were not aware of that simple fact before the war, they're as corrupt and incompetent as the Russian 'clown car' army.

Russia is still rated as having the #2 military in the world. Saying Russian offensive capabilities "never existed", is wrong since they crushed the Chechens and the Georgians. Without US weapons, Ukraine would have been eventually crushed.
