In the end the thing that bugs me the most is that had we helped equip Ukraine before the war with the kinds of material being sent now, and allowed the Ukrainians time to train up properly, the war would probably be close to over by now. So many lives saved and crimes prevented.

Yeah, looking back now, if the Ukrainians would’ve had what we’ve been giving them and are about to send to them the Russians wouldn’t have made it 20km over the border before they were repulsed. That was a mistake, but one I also would’ve made. I had no idea the Russian army was so ineffective and that the Ukrainians were already so skilled.
