We should give Ukraine the tools it needs to win this war

Likewise, Mother Ukraine is a proud nation. She will not fold. Looks like we got a Mexican Standoff situation.

Mother Russia already folded in 1917 and again in 1992. I guess they can't take the hint yet.....
"Mother Russia" got her ass so thoroughly kicked by the Japanese, the Finns
and of course the dirt poor Afghan tribes.
I don't think "Mother Russia" gives a shit. OTOH, Vladdy gives a mega-turd shit because if he blows this, he looks weak. And we all know what happens to "weak" leaders in Russia...... They fall out of windows on the 30th floor.
My favourite is the Crimean War in 1855 when the British fired high quality muzzle-loaders with rifled barrels effective out to about 600 metres range. And the Russians fired low quality muzzle-loaders effective out to about 75 yards range. (Yes, the British weapons actually aimed and fired accurately at 7 fucking times the range of the Russian weapons. That's right. Seven times the range. LOLOLOL!)
