Compared to similar sized wars since 1945 the aid getting to Ukraine is rather small. Compare to, for instance, what the US sent to Israel in 1973. A few thousand ATGM amd Manpads, and 10,000-odd antitank rocket launchers, plus apparently a few thousand small arms.

Only just now are heavy weapons showing up - 200 Polish tanks, 50 German flakpanzers and @100 US/Canadian howitzers. Given what the Ukrainians already had thats nice but fairly minor, as the Ukes already had 1000+ tanks (active and reserve) etc, etc.

Its probable that the most important assistance anyone has yet provided the Ukes is information.

You need more historical depth in order to judge these things.

Looks like the Russian sortis were heavy today. Any weaponry the west is sending in it’s getting destroyed immediately. Biden’s latest 33 billion will be wiped out in a matter of weeks.
