Where'd those Bradleys come from, then? Zero troops yes, but the US has absolutely shipped a ton of military hardware to Ukraine.
Ukraine would absolutely fold without the inflow of NATO military hardware, that's the crux of Russia's strategy for winning - hope it can undermine Western support for a Ukraine war, and then crush Ukraine once they're on their own. That's the entire reason why Russia blocked gas exports to Europe - they lost a lot of gas profits forcing the EU to choose between supporting Ukraine or having Russian gas for the winter.
The US itself isn't fighting in the war, but they're undeniably a key participant in it. With military hardware and training and intel support and money.
- hef19898 3y agoThe US, like all other NATO members, shipped a ton of hardware to Ukraine. None of that hardware is operated by NATO personel, under NATO flag so. Hence, NATO is not an active participant in the war in Ukraine, despite being arms, ammunition and intelligence suppliers as well as close allies of Ukraine. And yes, those details matter in geopolitics, a lot.
