Biden dripped increasing aid and everyone sees what a failure Trump is

BEFORE the war Biden should've told Putin "If you invade we will supply UKR with everything they need with NO restrictions" & then stuck with that. When UKR was able to push the Russians into retreat, an overwhelming counterattack MAY have been able to push them much further back and kept them there but they didnt have enough weaponry & ammo. But we were also hampered by finding out our OWN production was having trouble ramping up. But coupled with the EU countries & others I believe we could have fattened up the UKR military. Because they've been outgunned 10-1 from day one yet STILL have held them off. Imagine if the firepower wouldve been closer to equal.

The war started 10 months before the GOP took over. Callie1979 May 26 #24

I know. And Ukraine did great initially. When the GOP came in, they made sure to throttle our aid LymphocyteLover May 26 #27

But initially it was "NO HIMARS. NO jets. NO tanks. NO Patriots" Etc Callie1979 May 26 #29

Yes, that is true. The Biden admin only wanted to give defensive weapons and nothing that be seen LymphocyteLover May 27 #32
