If Benes was the problem, then by extension the losers who are now pretending to run the Ukraine are the problem. So, the solution is have Americans fight to support obvious losers who have good intentions?

The topic in this thread is whether it makes sense to send nonlethal aid. If the Ukrainian government were semi-organized, not obviously bought by Putin and not inclined to surrender, then probably. Given that the government is not obviously any of the above, the odds are good that any aid sent is a gift to Russia or to the numbered accounts of the Ukrainian leadership. Besides, there's no actual war going going on. The Ukrainian army don't actually need anything right now. If any fighting begins, there'll be plenty of time to supply them. The Afghans started their insurgency with muzzle-loading 19th century rifles. Ukrainians should have plenty of time to bleed the Russians if they invade.

Oh, so the answers to my questions aren’t in the little notebook you work from. Gotcha.
