    OK so we went from “we did everything we could” to “yeah we didn’t but we don’t have treaties with them who cares”.

    I’m just saying that maybe we shouldn’t have pretended we were going to support Ukraine till the end if we weren’t serious about it. There’s just a lot of dead Ukrainians that have been thrown into the meat grinder for nothing now.

      We have supported Ukraine. You seem to take the stance we should degrade our defenses to help Ukraine. That’s what you are asking and demanding.

      Our military has an obligation to protect us and our allies first.

      If anything you should ge asking why Biden ramp up ammo production quicker. Ukraine has asked for a rightly needs more artillery ammo. That’s more important than the f16. Yet, we still can’t product what they need with no real timeline to ever hit it.

      We also should send more himars and rockets. They are effective, they’ve been trained on them and they have had good results with them.

      There isn’t a magic weapon that is going to win the war for Ukraine. They need a lot of basic weapons which we can’t produce enough of to supply them.

        I am saying either we give Ukraine what it needs to actually win or don’t prolong pointless Ukrainian deaths.

        As we promised to help Ukraine the first move would be the correct one. But this flip flopping only hurts them in the end.
