Gosh if only there was a way to prevent that!

Also Israel does literally all of that and to an even greater extent, I say we declare war on Israel.

There is, give Ukraine the ability to defend itself and push Russia out.

That has never been the goal, at least not of the US. The goal has always been to drag the war on as long as possible to maximize the damage to Russia. That's it.

The goal of the Democrats in the US has been to send much more aid much sooner than the Republicans. It's the Republicans that want to see Ukraine fail and who are dragging out this stalemate.
