Wow. Russia does not need this for Ukraine. At any given time they could simply steamroll it. They haven’t, it’s called restraint. There is something else going on with Israel. For one, they knew the attack was coming. Start with thinking about that.

Colonel MacGregor has said that the Russians are slowly grinding the Ukrainian military down. Perhaps he is right, but our own post-World War II experience with limited wars has been disastrous. The Russians swiftly dealt with the former Soviet republic of Georgia in a few days back in 2008, under a similar pretext: defense of ethnic minorities. However, this intervention is taking far longer, and Ukrainian resistance is much bolstered by Western military aid and probably mercenaries in the pay of American and British military and intelligence. Putin has stated that without Western military assistance, Ukraine would collapse in a week.

In aiding the Ukrainians, NATO military supplies have been severely drained. With limited resources, Israel will receive the bulk of aid. Other than the far Left types like AOC, there will be no opposition to the aid to Israel in Congress.
