We can only hope that this attack fails and makes Putin look even weaker

So what we are doing now. Hoping and giving them things to fight back with. Or do you want to start WW3 by sending planes and bombs with a European flag on it?

we are not doing enough. we dont produce our own rockets, our own current gen planes, we rely on yanks when it comes to satellites, we lack even the basic shit like artillery shells production. we should be producing all of that IN EUROPE in quantities 5x AT LEAST of what russia is capable of

Under president Joe Biden, he saw that the loss of human lives caused by a soulless, evil country will not be tolerated by the US and other countries that also value human rights and human lives. Trump "inherited" how the USA would view and assess the war. Unfortunately, King Frump has the heart of a hyena and the soul of a rotting corpse. When he gets involved in any situation, the only thing he sees, is how he can profit from being on the right side (The Money-making side) of a dispute. He is a giant pile of dog shit that has just started to go from brown to white.

If it’s a massive missile/drone attack against energy infrastructure there isn’t much chance of that failing to hit most of its targets.

They have a shortage of countermeasures because countries like the US dragged their feet supplying them and delayed giving them the tech to build their own.

Fuck Putin and his arrogant bid to be remembered.

I would say they have a shortage of countermeasures because when Russia invaded, all Ukraine had in stock was Soviet era weapons and they needed more modern air defense, not because other countries were dragging their feet.

I do agree the world should help and support Ukraine in any way possible just as long as it doesn't effect weapons stockpiles needed for national defense. I don't know if you heard, but even without the war in Ukraine, the US is burning through dwindling resources like interceptor missiles really fast and and the majority of them are all multi-million dollar missiles, most of which have less than 1,000 manufactured in a year. They have ramped up production lines to manufacture 4X to 5X yearly but that is going to take some time...

At the end of the day, I think all of the countries helping Ukraine are needed and important, but I don't think any country should be criticized for "dragging their feet" when currently supplying desperatly needed advanced weapons no matter the delivery pace. Ukraine is fighting hard and without the support of other countries, they wouldn't have made it as far as they have.

As far as giving them the tech, tons of countries are collaborating or giving them tech and they are starting to build their own weapons. There are weapons and tech that countries will not divulge because these are top tier weapons expected to rival or beat near peer adversaries and risking that tech filling into the wrong hands can be extremely damaging to tactics and effectiveness of weapons systems. An adversary even learning small characteristics of components, radar signatures, new materials or coatings and flight characteristics can give them much better insight on how to stop or disable various weapons systems.

We definitely agree on one thing though! FUCK PUTIN!
