“Nobody has asked to send US troops to Ukraine, not even Ukraine. We should have been sending them weapons for months now.”
So you think they can just read the instruction manuals and use our weapons effectively against Russia. Obviously not...so what now?
...and do you think we’d send our best weapons there, just to have the Russians overrun and capture those weapons in a matter of days?
It’s not so easy to fight a superpower in its backyard (directly or by proxy), and usually not wise.
Poland, Romania and Bulgaria are in NATO and they should have some Soviet weapons. There is a NATO summit in Wales next week and maybe something will be worked out where Ukrainians will get weapons they are familiar with from these countries and Poland, Romania and Bulgaria will get some modern weapons.
