- rasz 2y agoPlus US doctrine doesnt rely on Artillery. US would never do things "NATO allies" force Ukraine to do.
- talldayo 2y agoTechnically speaking, yeah. The US would much rather rely on strike warfare than grind out infantry over 155mm artillery. If US Military doctrine is ever made to rely on shelling your opponent and nothing else, America would have to surrender posthaste. Practically speaking though, I wouldn't say NATO allies "force" Ukraine to do much besides make sure the war doesn't go nuclear. The biggest way they (especially the US) manipulates Ukraine is by offering conditional aid and creating red tape that Russia doesn't abide by. Ukraine wishes they had the ability to echo US doctrine, but circumstantially they are fighting a ground battle with last-generation weaponry.
