Could/should the UKEs use some of the war aid they are getting to hire experienced pilots, tank driver/gunners? Would 1000 M1 Abrams out of storage and with ammo, fuel and experienced crews make a difference? Are there experienced potential crews out there for the right price? Have the Ukes already explored this with their NATO supporters?
Heck, don’t WE send military grade contractors to do operations that we wish to not be so closely connected to?
Didn’t we in Iraq and Afghanistan, Syria, Etc? I would think some of those folks aren’t quite dead of old age yet and might want to fight for pay to keep up with Biden’s inflation.
Easier to defend the territory plus with planes. The Russians won't be able to make a breakthrough.
