> US and Europe's "all-in" hardline over Ukraine
If you look past their big talks of outrage in news media and critically asses the actual amount of military equipment given to Ukraine, you will see that it is nowhere close to any kind of "all-in", hardline or not. They are still refusing to provide even modern main battle tanks FFS.

The only red lines on material escalation seem to be around ATACMS. I'd expect MBTs and A-10s by next spring, with training over winter.
- caskstrength 4y agoSo you are saying that they are not even close to being all-in but may still do it some time in the future? Okay then.
