The New York Times summarizes yesterday’s Rammstein: “US and allies promise more weapons for Ukraine, but Kyiv wants more.”
Some NATO countries are wary of sending heavy weapons, hoping for a negotiated truce, but the alliance has publicly said it is ready to help Ukraine defeat Russia.
The NYT also writes that “the promise of weapons and their delivery are two different things.”
The newspaper lists reasons why the transfer is slower than Ukraine would like:
- Western reluctance to deplete its arsenals
- Inability to quickly produce additional weapons
- Difficult logistics
- Fears of sensitive technology falling into Russian hands
- the need to train Ukrainians in handling new types of weapons
- and the danger of escalation if there are strikes against Russia.

Thanks Cathi, I figured if I scrolled down, I would stumble back to reality.
I added numbering to the above.
1) - It costs money to store weapons that will never be needed (see Francis Fukuyama, who wrote the legendary tome: “The End of History” where he implied that there will never be a war between superpowers, as the Neocon/Globalist vision for the world would, of course, be accepted without objection).
2) - Why keep production lines open, if the weapons are no longer needed, due to The End of History. So figure 2 or 3 years to round up the retirees and have them explain to us how their weapons worked, and then finding companies who aren’t into Investment Banking, to actually build military hardware.
3) - 500+ miles to the front lines. But the weapons are good to terrorize Russia-supporting civilians, and have thus put to that use.
4) - That’s a done deal. The Russians have HUNDREDS of copies of our weapons from which to design and neutralize Western weapons, so the next war will go much smoother for them.
5) - Probably would have been a good idea to have some instruction manuals in Ukrainian, rather than forcing them to rely on Google Translate (which, I admit, isn’t bad).
6) - 5 World Leaders showed up in Kiev today and I’m sure returned home safely. Start bombing Russian civilians, and there may be new elections in those countries.
