Those who delayed sending tanks, LRMs & jets to #Ukraine but now worry the counteroffensive is going too ‘slowly’ are basically complaining 🇺🇦 isn’t sawing a log fast enough after only giving them a pocket knife.
Give the troops the right tools for the job & they’ll get it done.

@berlinbridge Totally agree at this point. So many #News stories worry about a few #tanks destroyed or how hard the fighting has been but fail to address the fact that #NATO could be doing so much more in #Ukraine.

@berlinbridge Exactly, “This is not a show” as Zaluzhny said https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/30/valery-zaluzhny-ukraine-general-interview/
Ukraine’s top general, Valery Zaluzhny, wants shells, planes and patience

Zaluzhny expressed frustration that Ukraine still has not received modern fighter jets but is expected to rapidly take back territory from the occupying Russians.

Plus: Due to the delay 🇷🇺 has been given plenty of time to build up multiple lines of defense.
