So is Ukraine supposed to micromanage how each piece of equipment is being used based on how each donor country feels about attacking Russia?

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 39 points 3 months ago

Yes. They sold the equipment under stipulations on how it will be used. If the US just gives Ukraine massive long-range offensive capabilities then Russia will treat that as a declaration of a proxy war and may attack US forces elsewhere. Or escalate in other ways. No one wants a desperate Russia. They want Russia to spend itself to death, again. And die like it did in the cold war.

And die like it did in the cold war.

Except it only appeared to die. Ukraine gave up its nukes in the 90s on the belief Russian aggression had “died” in the cold war.

No, they gave up their nukes for the promise of Ukrainian independence and it was seen as good deal because Moscow still held sole control over all launch sequences.
