Why then, is it not an act of war for Germany to give Ukraine stinger missiles and whoever to give them javelin missiles? We could even give them the drones and we’re just piloting them or he’ll, just show the Ukrainians how to do it if it makes a big difference.

Although, some here are saying it won’t work if Russia has air superiority.
