As an American, I feel so embarrassed that this really was our one chance to be the “good guys”. You know, the people we claimed to be during and after WWII. We could have flooded Ukraine with all the weapons they could hold and all the jets they could fly but we didn’t and now we’re doing even less. I really hope Europe takes up the mantel on this one.

iirc Europe was already the majority supplier of arms at this point but the US is/was vital in a few key areas where Europe just doesn't have the manufacturing capacity yet (They're working on it but it takes time to build a whole new MIC)
