I would rather give them a higher amount of higher-cost and more accurate weapons. I know why the US wouldn't, and why Ukraine accepts this. It's their choice in the end.
I don't think we particularly need to celebrate this though.
“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.
Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.
Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.
Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I'm still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.
I trust that they want my money
I think it's unlikely he will be able to secure power.
It's also Rostov-on-Don and not Rostov, Yaroslavl.
Prigozhin is a monster and a war criminal.
But how much infighting do we think Russia can handle without collapsing on the front?
It seems like we are about to find out.
I think it's probably safe to say that if the Russian state media says the FSB want to arrest him, then the FSB probably do want to arrest him.
Russian state associated media has confirmed it.
Since their leader has no sway with the oligarchic class that effectively holds power in Russia, it seems unlikely he would be able to consolidate power. If somehow he offed Putin it would be more likely to end in civil war IMO than in Prigozhin as leader.
I just honestly didn't give a shit about them, and still it was all over the news.
How many people died in car crashes eachday this coverage was everywhere?
A group of rich people with poor research skills exploded themselves, and it just doesn't matter to me.
We don't spend half this time crying over much bigger tragedies.

I think you will find that the liberal-capitalist world order with some semblance of norms like national self determination and resistance to overt nationalistic annexation does benefit the US.
Note that I'm not saying I like this world order, or the US politic. But your assertion looks false to my eyes. Even if there was no moral issue of enabling Ukrainian self defense because Ukrainian self defense is a moral good, the USA benefits from preventing authoritarian regimes from using military force to swallow up their neighbors. And so do the European countries.
