Excellent article. Should also mention that the tanks used to invade France in 1940 were for the most part built in Czechoslovakia in 1938-1940 (not just existing "intact Czechoslovakia tanks"). If war had been declared in 1938 against Germany, it would have been won fast. Also, I don't understand what mandate or power the US have to negotiate with Russia? They are currently the main providers of weapons to Ukraine but that's about it? And they aren't even the only providers. Europe could absolutely help Ukraine on its own and ignore whatever the US tells it to do, if it had the political will to do so. It doesn't look good right now but it could still happen.
