But there have been opportunities lost as our commander in chief has an aversion to assisting Zelenskyy and has never done anything to aid in the negotiations to defend Ukraine right to sovereignty.
Putin, with, in my estimation, a stronger western perspective, notably NATO and EU considerations that Ukraine has longed for, could have been stymied some time ago.
And now, we up the ante by filling Putin's coffers.
We have been more silent than wise.
Furthermore, my point was we could have learned the ins and outs of drone warfare and how the battlefield has changed with today's weaponry.
