ISW brings real insider knowledge. I have had a chance to work with General Keane, and he is "read in" on a lot of action.
He was Deputy Commander at CENTCOM under Petraeus so he knows a lot about the general theater and the weaponry.
But, from here in WDC, both parties struggle with minority factions that do not see strategic value in Ukraine.
Bernie Sanders et.al. want to cut the DOD by $400B; "Stop forever War".
Some of the Right Wingers see China as a MUCH bigger threat, and Ukraine is a deliberate distraction by the Russia-China Tandem.
