All I can think of when I see these images of Russian trenches is "man, sure would be nice to give Ukraine some B-52s." Again, the support Ukraine has received is great, but there is soooo much more that can be given to actually accomplish the objective. It's infuriating to me how the West is basically saying "we are more concerned about our own butts not getting into a war with Russia than we care about the lives of Ukrainian soldiers." They are being asked to sacrifice their lives on a scale that isn't necessary. A Ukrainian soldier life is not worth any less than any American's life, but it is clear our decision makers see them as less valuable. Just disgusting.

I don't understand this paragraph. The Ukrainians are fighting to save their country. It's not our country, or a NATO country. They're fighting against our implacable foe and we're aiding them on that basis, but we absolutely do not want to get into a broader conflict with Russia that turns the planet into a cinder.
