    Also Trump was wrong as usual. US support for Ukraine was pretty minimal at the start of the war. Nobody expected them to last long, why supply them with heavy weaponry if it would fall into Russia’s hands in a few weeks? Lesson learned from US support of Afghanistan in the 80’s and why the Afghanistan army didn’t receive them in the 2000s. Only after Ukraine proved themselves did the West ramp up support.

      Well the US did send Javelin missiles to Ukraine before the start of the war… but only after Trump tried to hold them back in an extortion scheme on Zelenskyy to get him to smear Biden. That resulted in the first impeachment of Trump and since he’s a small and petty worm, he obviously holds a grudge.

        And then he had the gall to tell Zelensky to his face ‘I’m the one that gave you javelins!’, even though they were both on that perfect phone call where he tried to extort him.
