Russian President Vladimir Putin Invaded UkraineExpecting to decapitate its leadership You can easily conquer the territory in a matter days.

TodayIt is Putin Who can forget that each day could be his last?

From The conflict’s beginning White House Many of them are national security advisers. Jake Sullivan His deputy Jon Finer Never served in the military, but sought to micromanage military assistance. Ukraine It was essential to fight for its survival. Initially, Sullivan Get counseled Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s evacuation to prevent wider bloodshed.

Zelensky He was wisely defied. Fearing They could be antagonistic RussiaThe White House He has repeatedly tried to limit the weaponry’s range and quality, initially refusing to allow transfer Stingers And High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems For example, HIMARS. Putin He can rely on this self-deterrence as a way to limit the effects of his aggression on his own forces. 

As Ukraine Continues to push Russian For all forces Ukrainian Territorium requires precise munitions as well as tanks. While Australia Has sent Bushmaster Armoured vehicles President Emmanuel Macron He stated that he would send AMX-10 RC armored fighting vehicle, sometimes referred as “the dubbed” “light tanks,” What Zelensky U.S.-made products are more durable and heavier than those made in the U.S. M1 Abrams tanks Or German Leopard-2 tanks.

These To help, tanks are crucial Ukraine Recuperate its territory. Europe There is also a surplus. The United States And Germany They could be provided with assistance Ukraine Then, backfill the stocks that supplied them. To Please suggest Ukraine They are not able to use them effectively without training.

It Condescending to second-guess commandos facing their enemy, who have a lifetime experience in weapons platforms and treat it as if the war is an Ivy League seminar. Ukraine This is not just the breadbasket for EuropeIt is also home to a large number of engineers and information tech professionals. CertainlyIn peacetime Ukrainians Would have time for complete training programs. But The perfect cannot be an enemy of the good. Ukrainians They have repeatedly demonstrated that they can learn the basics within a quarter of the ideal training time and then improvise. The sooner Ukraine The safer it is, the more it can regain its territory Europe Will be.

On Training is also required for platforms like F-16s. It it is backwards for us to first debate whether we should provide a platform and then, after the decision is made delay implementation for a full year to accommodate training. Rather Practice incrementalism rather than practicing it Biden Should first approve training. Not This would not only indicate U.S. seriousness but also convey to Russia They will only make things worse if they continue to act aggressively, but it would speed up implementation of decisions.

The worst outcome is Ukrainians The F-16 would not have allowed me to train and return home with more knowledge. 

International Republican Institute President Daniel Twining is right: Ukraine We are already getting our money back. Within CongressA broad bipartisan consensus exists on the importance of a Ukrainian Not only will it bring freedom and liberty to an end, but it will also bring about U.S. security. It It is time to give Ukraine They need to win this war.

It It’s time to celebrate White House To act confidently and to end self-doubt
