(#5264) Send Ukraine the planes and rockets now!

      I have been watching the slow crawl Ukrainian counter offensive and to me it is appropriate for not wasting Ukrainian soldiers' lives. They have the will to fight and retake their land but they are also not stupid. Russia has had many months to fortify the front lines on their side with an eye to knowing that Ukraine cannot help their counter assault with the necessary rockets and airplanes. This hinders Ukraine and makes their job of attacking Russian lines much more difficult and deadly. Russians are dug in and have fortified themselves with enough armaments to inflict a heavy toll on advancing Ukrainian soldiers.
     The only way Ukraine can competently overcome these kinds of defenses is to be able to attack from the air as well as from the ground. So the necessity of having enough jets to do carpet bombing of Russian positions so that the Ukrainian soldiers can go in and clean up the defenses is imperative. Zelenskyy is correct in holding back his main force until he can help them with air superiority. It is coming but not fast enough! This should have been addressed much earlier in the planning stages but the US and most of it's allies have been reluctant to supply these jets and long range rockets out of some perceived future fear of upsetting Russia. Well fuck Russia and them being possibly upset.
     The only fear I feel is for the lives of the brave Ukrainian soldiers who have been risking their lives for the past 16 months non stop. They need the weaponry and logistics necessary to defeat Russia and send them back to their own country. That is the fate of war. Either help our friend win and succeed or let them die without our help. The fear factor about Russia is gamesmanship so taking that off the table by giving Russia the middle finger and going all in on helping Ukraine push them from Ukrainian soil is the only proper response from the west. We cannot let the dying bully Russia dictate what may happen if we help Ukraine. We either help or not. No in between!
