First, I never said who started the war, I could care less at this point.
The American Public has been told the goal is to defeat Russia and drive them out of Ukraine.
Regardless of what the goal is, it’s still a war.
If you are going to fight a war it’s only logical to fight it with everything available to win.
Could the USA and the West provided F-16s a year ago ??
Could the USA and the West provided Tanks a year ago ??
I could go on; the point is we are not really fighting the war to win because we would have given Ukraine everything they needed to fight and win a long time ago.
That sentence only makes sense if you have a choice to "start the war".
