If Ukraine had joined NATO, they would be getting more military help. It's a guarantee.

Ukraine GOT HELP during the Trump administration and with Congressional approval.

In 2017, the Trump Administration
announced U.S. willingness to provide lethal weapons to
Ukraine.
Since 2018, Ukraine has used FMF, as well as some of its
national funds, to procure U.S. defense equipment,
including Javelin anti-armor missiles and Mark VI patrol
boats through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system.
Ukraine also has used a combination of FMF and national
funds to refurbish former U.S. Coast Guard Island-class
patrol boats provided through the Excess Defense Articles
(EDA; 22 U.S.C. §2321j) program. In addition, Ukraine has
purchased firearms, ammunition, ordnance, and other laser,
imaging, or guidance equipment directly from U.S.
suppliers via the Direct Commercial Sales process.
According to DOD, USAI packages have provided sniper
rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, counter-artillery
radars, Mark VI patrol boats, electronic warfare detection
and secure communications, satellite imagery and analysis
capability, counter-unmanned aerial systems, air
surveillance systems to monitor sovereign airspace, night
vision devices, and equipment to support military medical
treatment and combat evacuation procedures
If you have the time you will notice in the Congressional article that Trump also authorized the acquisition of LETHAL weapons (which Obaminable/Biden DID NOT DO IN 8 YEARS!) from other countries that had come from the U.S.
You apparently have forgotten the Obaminable position on Eastern European military assistance.
From the above article:
Provision of Defense Equipment After Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine, the Obama
Administration limited its support to Ukraine to nonlethal security assistance items, such as body armor, helmets, vehicles, night and thermal vision devices, heavy engineering equipment, advanced radios, patrol boats, rations, tents, counter-mortar radars, uniforms, medical kits, and other related items. In 2017, the Trump Administration
announced U.S. willingness to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine.
"After Russia's 2014 invasion"....? Obama/
Biden to be specific!
I recognize you and others wish to rewrite history, but vandalism is about all you have left for that. Official records still exist and some pics are still around that BigTech hasn't scrubbed from the internet searches as hard as they try.
Your President WAITED UNTIL AFTER THE INVASION to assist Ukraine and the shit still hasn't gotten there ... but he has been funding the war for the Russians by buying their oil.
It's too bad that those who voted for Bitten/Cackles have to resort to cartoons rather than reality.
Does "Your Team" remind you of cartoons? The international military disasters your choices have facilitated by their total incompetence have put us in even more danger than Covid which also began in the Obaminable Administration.
Cackles is going to Poland to end the war! Like she ended the criminals from sneaking into our country!
