Again, I point to Afghanistan who succesfully beat the Russians off of them with a few Stinger missiles and AK-47’s. This is a historical fact.
you cannot compare geogia to afghanistan. most of the afghan fighters are religious fanatics. they have no problem hanging around in caves and mountains for the next 20 years if nessersary (because the towns are controlled by the “winners”). nor do they care about their own civillians. as far as i know georgians do not believe in 72 virgins for example. maybe they like their cities and people who are living there. and this is why a small country like gergia can never win a war against a big country like russia.

Yes, you can make comparisons. We gave the Afghans a few Stinger missiles, AK-47's and ammo, some hand grenades and some anti-tank rockets. They successfully defeated the USSR and essentially started the waterfall that led to the dissolution of the whole rotten mess.
Giving the Georgians advanced surface-to-air capability, anti-tank mines, layered anti-tank defense, A-10's and training, F-16's and training can be compared.
I heard the same stuff about supplying arms to the Afghans from the Democrats for years. Luckily some people did not listen and provided the necessary arms.

And also, Ukraine should be NATO today, and if the Europeans veto that one again then we need to arm Ukraine to the teeth as well.
