    America is not giving Ukraine the most advanced weapons and that is stopping Russia.

    Imagine if America used their pre advanced weapons.

    It’s posturing. Russia wants to look tough. They’re a paper tiger.

      Total posturing. A few hundred of these would end the war overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM

      These aren’t even classified. Poland and Finland have them, today.

      Ukraine is keeping Russia in check with cardboard launched grenades. It’s pretty amazing, honestly; both how innovative Ukraine has been under duress with almost nothing, and how bad Russia has performed in this mess they’ve dumped themselves in.

      A few too many toes over NATO lines would decapitate the Kremlin, probably before anything could be done in response.

        I just don’t understand why the americans can’t decide their stance while sitting on these wonderful advanced weapons. Either give Ukraine enough equipment to win or tell them to get lost and give up territory in exchange for peace. One risks escalation with Russia or if things go too well collapse of russia, the other risks discrediting the rules based international order (lmao).

        But the status quo with delayed/half assed aid shipments is costing thousands of Ukrainian (and Russian, but who cares lol) soldiers’ lives for pretty dam questionable outcomes.

        I have been highly impressed with the Ukrainian spirit and ingenuity.

        I have also been surprised at what a cluster fuck Russia has been on the battlefield. I expected them to perform better than they did. It shows how much they have declined from being a super power.

        The only issue I have is Russia has nukes and Putin is dumb enough to use them.
