So, if support is delayed, it’s Trump’s fault, even if Ukraine was unaware of the delay, and if all goes well, it’s due to Congressional action. Hmmmm

This is all about selling US weapons to Ukraine not whether what we sell them will be effective. It’s all about perception. Unfortunately it still looks bad.

SSG Odom, just a FYI. Despite the rhetoric of the impeachment hearings and the desire of the Ukrainians to get their hands on the Javelin Missile. It's not currently effective against the Russian T-14 Armata tank. The Ukrainians are facing a mixture of old Russian tanks and the newest front line Armata tank. So while the missiles are better than nothing and have an impact on the older tanks they face. They are not going to turn the tide in the war or stop it or deter the Russians from further attacks. I am pretty confident that similar is true of the anti-ship missiles.

Add that to the fact that their mechanized units are ill equipped, ill maintained, poorly trained and as much interested in occupying the best smuggling routes along the border, the Ukrainians getting some more artillery or anti tank missiles will have little effect on their readiness, which is non existent. At least Zelensky seems to realize this fact, especially after the recent negotiations with Russia where the Germans and French very effectively threw him under the bus. Whether he has the clout to do anything substantial without starting another internal struggle with the National Guard, which are an "Internal Army" and IMO, a bunch of Neo Nazis, Real Neo Nazis, remains to be seen.
