      Who persuaded them to join NATO without offering security against Russia? And when the war was ready to start they did not even tried to persuade them to abort (Munich security conference 2022).

      For a non tankie perspective, the Biden admin fucked Ukraine by slow walking every piece of hardware and ammo. As soon as it became apparent Russia was going to invade, Ukraine should have been provided with all the cruise missiles and HIMARs it could use. Not restricting range or targeting to only Ukraine. Patriots shouldn’t have taken ages to be donated.

      Additionally, Ukrainian pilots should have been given training for western aircraft much sooner. And those aircraft should have been given.

      Basically, with enough support earlier, Ukraine could have ejected the Russians from their territories. But Biden hemmed and hawed about “escalation”. Ukraine showed how much bullshit that all was when they started using drones to strike Russian oil installations and taking Russian land.
