19 retired generals and ex-officials urge US to increase arms supplies to Ukraine

"Nineteen retired US generals and former officials have called on the Biden administration to step up the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine or run the risk of “unintentionally seizing defeat from the jaws of victory”.

(Like we've never done that before)

"The former officers, diplomats and other officials argue the administration is inhibited by fear of triggering a Russian escalation, possibly involving nuclear weapons – but they argue that failure to defeat Vladimir Putin in Ukraine increases the danger of a confrontation with Moscow later “on less favorable grounds”.

(It's not the Nukes they fear, it's the Hypersonics, (It's why the drills in Philadelphia, Chicago and Mew York a lil while back) and rightfully so, cause we don't have a defense against them.

Putin threatens West with 'consequences greater than any you have faced in history' if it intervenes in his invasion of Ukraine

There are no favorable grounds, none and the powers that be know it, and so do the people who signed that letter.

"So far, the US has given Ukraine nearly $10bn in military aid under the Biden administration, including rocket launchers, but has stopped short of providing longer-range missiles, fixed-wing aircraft and certain armed drones.'

(For the reason, see note above about hypersonics)

"Last month, Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said that the pace of arms deliveries was limited by Ukraine’s capacity to absorb them in terms of people trained to use them, and the need to have Nato allies support the deliveries."

"Talking about the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) which have a 300km range (186 miles) and which Kyiv was repeatedly requested, Sullivan said that fear of escalation played a role in withholding them."

“[A] key goal is to ensure that we do not end up in a circumstance where we’re heading down the road towards a third world war,” he said at the Aspen Security Forum."

"The signatories on the commentary argue that the US is allowing itself to be deterred by the Russian nuclear threat while not taking into account how much the US arsenal deters Russia."

(It aint about Nukes yo.)

“I’ve never seen the United States deterred from doing what’s in its interest, but Russia aggression as we are seeing now,” Herbst, now a senior director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, said. “I think it is the most important reason for what I call the timidity and the slowness of the administration’s response to legitimate and important requests, even urgent requests.”

(I'm trying to tell you the reason for it! Maybe there's a reason we practiced getting hit by Hypersonics? Maybe? What is wrong with these people? Why aren't they getting it?)
