"The government is a child that has found their parents credit card, and spends knowing that they never have to reconcile the bill with their own money"-Shannon Churchill
It's an escalation by NATO, not the US. Semantics, I know, but isn't that what Putin is playing?
He has repeatedly tried to single out, suck in and engage the US, not NATO. So, we're just a NATO member supplying another NATO member's inventory shortages. Routine
The downside to this is Biden and the Dems are taking credit for doing the right thing when it's just unintended consequences of his failing to face off against Putin. For the best since we don't need that bumbling fool engaging someone threatening to use nukes.
Meantime, as was pointed out in another thread, Biden's doing his level best to sign a nuke deal with Iran spearheaded by Putin So we support Ukraine with one hand, and still by oil and do nuke deals with Putin. Makes perfect sense
