For more than 2 years Ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. They have been allowed to use their western arms to defend themselves, but not to use them in offence against their aggressors!
This enabled Russia free reign in smashing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, while at the same time, letting the Ukrainian’s unable to reply likewise to Russia.
I freely admit that my knowledge of military dogma is more than limited, but the one dictum that I have picked up; and have found, very logical is:
At times the best defense is a good offence!!!Trump urges Putin: 'Don't escalate the Ukraine war' in post-victory call
https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/news. ... ctory-callPutin’s answer:
'Massive' Russian attack causes Ukraine blackouts
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c206l3qgnx2oThe most massive airstrike against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure since the start of the war, leaving tens; if not hundreds of thousand, civilians without heating and water! This in the middle of winter!
This was apparently enough to piss off Old Joe Biden!!!
As one of his last acts while still in office; he untied Ukraine’s hands, and allowed them to use US arms offensively!
