Can’t just hand someone an f16 and say happy hunting. Also Ukraine isn’t vetted for the technology. You act like they some trusted ally.
Yeah that was the excuse we used to not give it to them in the past. So what has changed?
Sure it takes training to use this equipment. But we did not start that training as soon as possible. We waited 1-2years and now then go “yeah actually you’re getting slammed maybe we can get you some F16s and Patriot missiles”.
In any case it’s clearly too late now. Unless we start sending massive amounts of modern weaponry to Ukraine it’s basically GG and all that we’re doing now is throwing away more forcefully conscripted Ukrainian men as cannon fodder against Russia.
Yeah that was the excuse we used to not give it to them in the past. So what has changed?
We’ve been training them.
To be honest most people expected them to fall quickly. They didn’t.
That’s just the generic excuse politicians use. If we truly wanted it those weapons would be there in a heartbeat.
Just look how fast the paperwork for israel got done. Genocide Joe tapping his tiger team for that one.. Not for Ukraine as that article clearly states
We promised to “not let Ukraine fall”. Half assing it because “we thought they would have already lost” is the opposite of those words.
There are no excuses. We clearly did not do everything in our power for Ukraine which is why they are now losing.
Israel is trained on the weapons and we have treaties with Israel. We do not have treaties with Ukraine
It isn’t our job to to save Ukraine. They are not an ally. They are someone with empathize with but they are not someone we have treaties with.
