Reply to comment by ASD_Detector_Array in Ukraine calls for faster weapons supplies as Russia presses eastern offensive by redcccp

>I don't suppose you can offer an alternative explanation for the slow drip-feed of support?

At least 3.

  1. You can't send equipment without training. There's no point in sending NATO equipment if they are used to Russian.

  2. The more equipment Ukraine has, the more could technically be stolen by Russians. And you don't want that.

  3. Own interests and there are quite a few. Like every country's own defense, money for replacement, caution to prevent escalation, secrets to not make military strategies too obvious.

>I'm not seeing any absurdity to comment on, sorry. What do you mean?

Oh please, you know exactly how you worded it and I already explained in the comment above.

>Didn't say anything about who's doing the killing - that's not really disputable...

Reread what you wrote. You sure there's zero blame in it? "Drip feeding"means neglected, for example. "At the cost of Ukraine life" so who is at fault if you bring it up? Subliminal message in my eyes.
