What I would like to see is a full audit of American aid to Ukraine to the penny. As an American citizen, I am entitled to know this and as Americans, we should demand this.

What you said is true. But even without that, Russia has 3 or 4 times the population, and greater industrial base. The only way Ukrainian forces stood a chance was to have very well trained and equipped forces that could beat the Russian forces in a running battle.

This was obvious from the beginning except for those who have an irrational hatred towards one side or the other and those who are looking to enrich themselves either politically or financially.

Agree.

Sadly, our pentagon itself can’t pass an audit… so there’s that.

Wonder how many American advisors are on the ground operating those weapon systems.

Ukraine needs more soldiers. Weapons and ammo are not the biggest problem.

They wasted 2023 on a counteroffensive that failed. They should have spent that time fortifying their front with land mines and building more drones because they do not have the manpower to defend everywhere against the Russians.
