Ukraine would have been supplied with all the necessary weapons long ago and the war could have ended this year. We have soldiers, but not enough military equipment.
So basically it proves a balent point to all other world nations out of NATO/EU/US circle( basically REST OF WORLD- MAJORITY OF WORLD POPULATION) what you just self put, that you are playing some one else's war as just foot soldiers!!! while being on their mercy to supply you or not.
US needed to eliminate any contestant.. so it used the ground and foot soldiers of Ukraine to keep self out of picture unlike Vietnam!!
That is why with days passing, more and more nations getting out of US grip observing your live example.
Like every time past- US used all it's front face fighting countries, once it was no more of use, just threw it under bus and moved on to next one... History repeats itself- over and over.
You are at war, against an enemy with multifold power, and you still seek supply daily while getting bare necessity just to just keep the day rolling......
That states everything....
What you think! why suddenly India/ Japan/ Australia / Philippines/;;;;; to even Taiwan all suddenly woke up and increased their defense budget with whooping %, trying to get self-resilient in defense contract rather than buying US items only and taking US as their shield and relying solely on them! why suddenly there is a urge in countries to get self out of $ grip, countries now trying to employ rather bartar trading/ currency swapping than trading in US $, alternate of SWIFT is now getting placed, do you know how many countries switched to YUAN from $ in last some months?
Russia is no saint, but you choose the devil to 'no saint'
and Thanks to Ukraine, all neutral states now know what it takes when 1 get thrown from the rock.
Basically, Ukraine in Europe and Pakistan in Asia are the burning example of 1st class of what when one nation prioritize others's goal to shape in expense of their own sovereignty..
I am not trying to convince anyone for who's fault or who's not!----
just how countries are played as a expandable/disposable arm by the world powers!!
