What’s hard to grasp is that Russia is losing and losing bad according to reports and Ukraine is gaining ground by the day. Why does it need tanks and planes which it never got from us before? I understand that you fight full to end the war but this is not how it is being presented in the press and by world leaders. It is being presented as these tanks and possible planes are needed to keep the Russians at bay.
Russia lost a lot of its gains in the fall and has been stalemated since. Compliments of the ukrainian army without heavy weapons. This should give the west more confidence in sending more and heavier weaponry since it has shown the ability and will to fight.
Why would the west aid a lost cause? It obviously isnt given the facts on the ground.
Exactly, the time to cut off your forces and shut down resupply to them is when they are doing well in battle.
That is war-winning rule number one, ‘starve battlefield success’, turn off the spigot in midstream, and leave’em hanging.
