First, they had a formidable arms supply to start with. It takes time to diminish it, and that has been happening.

Second, do you know who supplied them with those arms?

That was a real disappointment to learn.

Finally, one way to look at this is that diminishing the Russian arms supply would be a strategic advantage for us--whether or not they attacked Ukraine, Putin was interfering with our elections and we all know the results. It has been nothing short of disastrous.

The Ukrainians are fully aware that we are accomplishing an important strategic objective for ourselves. Sadly, it is with their lives. We and other important nations may be picking up the tab, but don't think for a minute this curtailing of their arms is a nothing accomplishment--however long it takes.
