You’re forgetting that Trump was the guy who first gave Javelins to the Ukrainians.
Yeah, in 2019. But he, and Reps in general, have been complaining about supporting Ukraine since Putin invaded them. Reps actually held-up support at least once (about a year ago).
And, yes, it is accurate. The Felon (and Vance, to be fair) have started negotiations with almost everything Putin wants. If that isn't "rolling over", it's a pretty good approximation of it. And Zelensky (nor any representative of Ukraine) wasn't even consulted.
You keep obsessing about "dudes". They have the dudes, at least for now. Sure...if Putin could drag this out for 10 years, Ukraine might run out of people. But Putin can't. His economy won't endure. And likely the will of his people won't endure. But, yes, Ukraine needs more "guns" (materiel). Which is the whole point...that's all they've asked of anyone, and that's all we have been sending.
Your comparison to WWI is also appropriate. Yes, it's trench attritional warfare. But my comparison is also correct in that the larger nation invading the small one got bogged down, and is not in a fight of attrition (both in materiel and will). Ukraine cannot defeat Russia militarily, or at least isn't likely to. But they can outlast them. That's all they need to do. And we aren't asking them to; they're telling us that they want to. Just send them materiel, and they will do the heavy lifting.
