> Yet still winning..
Because Germans do not provide weapons they've promised. In fact if they drag their feet more, war may change its course.
> Ukraine doing that and the US doing that are drastically different
Of course Ukrainians can do that if they're equipped with enough modern weapons and intelligence.
The problem is stated above. Germans do not provide weapons, Biden is slow to push them. Additionally because of its energy and political dependence on Russia Germany is pushing Ukraine to surrender territory (along with wheat and ports) to Russia.
We don't need direct US involvement, we need strong and decisive leadership.
- guerrilla 4y agoI think it's complicated why they're not winning. Russia has a lot of resources, despite any incompetence. The US is not providing targeting data, nor long range weapons and the US doesn't want Ukraine striking inside of Russia (DoD just said so in the FT yesterday.) There's also the problem with sanctions not being very effective and having serious blowback globally making it difficult to apply more sanctions (EU disagreement on new sanctions was also in the FT yesterday.) I'm sure there are many other reasons we don't even know about... It's not easy.
