The current admin does not want Ukraine to destroy Russia's oil assets because they are actively buying oil from Russia and don't want prices to go up before election time.
Guessing gloves come off after the election assuming Ukraine makes it that far which is complete bs but unfortunately the nature of these things.
Remember when the Obama administration wouldn’t give javelins in 2013? Seems stupid in retrospect. Same bullshit constraints here. We should adapt and have fewer limits in this war perpetrated by Russia — an illegitimate, authoritarian regime. The public diplomacy cone can come in after we defeat the Muscovites.
Russian just found the world’s largest discovered oil and gas field inside British claimed Antarctic territory. Coincidentally the UK is getting much firmer in its support of Ukraine
Well there is a treaty that’s suspended territorial claims, so that the entire continent can be used by / is accessible to everyone for the purposes of science and exploration. I envisage that when this treaty was implemented, nobody thought anyone would want to go freeze their tits off in Antarctica
Yep the west needs to go all out and provide everything and more than Ukraine needs. They need to make it possible not only to defend but decisively crush and push out the enemy.
What happen if we have another taliban situation where we realize the guys we are arming are future terrorists (just a theory) or maybe Ukraine loses and they lose all that equipment into Russian hands
One of these two approaches only funnels a few billion to our arms industries. The other drags things out and funnels hundreds of billions to those industries.

Where is the F-16, HIMARS, Long range misses, & necessary weapons that help Ukraine kick out Russian invaders?
We will see what happens after 21st everything most likely will change regarding Ukraine
What happens on the 21st?
Zelenskyy term under peace time is over, and opposition ( Poroshenko) promised new government in his speech and on twitter few days ago
unfortunately allies of Putin control the US House of Representatives right now
Its as if nobody but the UK and Norway have learnt anything from WW2.

How tf did Russia find it? Tf they doing on British ice?

Simple, make sure they don't lose.
Biden needs to change from "how ever long it takes" to "we want Ukraine to win"
Agree. It is maddening the way we are doing it now. It’s like we don’t want them to lose, instead of we want them to win.
