    I didn’t say that they would, just that they very well might try to pull the same on another country they believe they have historical claim to, possibly one that would be more strategically threatening to the west. And that we should be prepared for the next time, so we can provide better military aid, quicker, and in competitive quantities.

      But they already HAD the weapons to send to Ukraine at the start of the Russian invasion. They just didn’t send them. Only recently did Ukraine get their long desired fighter jets.

      EU and America just stalled until Russia was able to build up their weapons factories. If they sent Ukraine the weapons they needed at the beginning this would have never gone on for so long.

      This is like the Uvalde police waiting outside the school shooting and saying “we need more funding” afterwards.
