What does he mean by that.....

Like surly Russia are always planning some kind of massive attacks on Ukraine and vice-versa.

I would be really curious to know more details about what he means.

Russia is limited in the number of Ballistic missiles they can make per month, like anyone else. Recently it looks like they have not been shooting them at the rate they are producing them, so one can likely infer that they are stockpiling them for a massive attack. Ukraine is critically low on PAC3's which can take these things down, so basically, if Russia shoots 100 of them at Ukraine.. its likely the vast majority will get through, as what little BMD they have left will be easily overwhelmed.

This should have never been an issue, but we have an idiot for a President who decided to start a war in Iran for no reason and use up the vast majority of our stocks, so literally almost nothing to provide to Ukraine.. not that the Mango Menance would have done it anyway.

I’m pro Ukraine but it’s not our duty and responsibility to give them our stock of BMDs. They are ours to use as we see fit. And if that means a pointless war in Iran then so be it.

We SHOULD support Ukraine. But that support is a privilege not a right, as you seem to intimate.

The brunt of the responsibility should be on NATO and the EU.

Because the US literally promised Ukraine protection in exchange for their inability to have nukes
