Nice, we are pulling Miltary aid. Dont have to worry about our boys in boots dying unnecessary. To those that want to complain. Ukraine are accepting foreign aid to join their army. By all means go ahead and sign up.

Aid ≠ deployed soldiers. There are veterans and civilian mercenaries in Ukraine but America hasn't sent soldiers officially or unofficially. The extent of the help was money, intelligence, and giving away old military surplus that the US was throwing away anyway. Information is publicly available and the war is documented by so many different cameras that if the US had combat troops in Ukraine you would've seen them but people like you ignore that in favor of what fox and similar conservative media tell you.

Yeah now you just have to worry about dying in Syria for Bibi.
I really just dislike how much of a 180 it’s been. We barely lost anything sending over older equipment and now Ukraine gets slapped in the face after sacrificing so much. Then you have people arguing this will save us all some money, but taxes have never been kind to me no matter who was in charge the past decade or so.
Half the time I see Zelensky's name written with two y's. Which is it supposed to be, Zelensky or Zelenskyy?
There's no consistent Latin alphabet transliteration but "yy" is what's on his passport and been used officially since he assumed presidency. "Zelenskyi" might be closer to how it's actually said, but one y or two are both acceptable. Really the most correct spelling is Зеленський.

Most of that old equipment was designed to fight the Soviets. Might as well let it fulfill its design purpose. It was already paid for. Better to stop an imperialist with a willing army than with an unwilling army.
Also better to actually fulfill one's treaties and agreements. The US agreed to protect Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. Russia also agreed to this. Russia reneged on that promise (twice) by invading the country. While outright war with Russia is a very bad thing (nuclear threats and all that), appeasement is so much worse. A line must be drawn and to the EU and the US (until like a month ago), that line was crossed three years ago in Ukraine. That "Three Day" Special Operation with something like 75% of the active Russian Army on the Ukrainian border. Naw man. It has been well over 1,000 days now. NATO has expanded with Sweden and Finland joining. Even with the US going all chickenshit because its President acts like a Russian asset, Putin has lost his stated goals against NATO that he was using as an excuse in 2022. His idea for a ceasefire is "surrender your lands and disarm". He can stick a Neptune missile his orifices.
The main issue is the lack of endgame strategies. No one wants to engage in the military pressure necessary to exorcise Russia from Ukraine, by force, but at the same time what support for Ukraine being allocated has been in a constant flux of being slow-walked. That's before the current US administration. That feeling stymied a proper response back at the start of the fighting, leading to sentiments like how Ukraine would probably just fold under the attack, to staring for about a week at a column of disabled tanks that no one wanted to completely eliminate. Maybe if this was a week one or week two response, a smaller show of arms would have been more persuasive. Four or so years down the line is not the time where you write angry letters about the incident in an effort to look stronger. Regardless of how much Ukraine deserves their victory, telling them to fight (in our place) under conditions where they have little chance of achieving the victory they want is pointless cruelty.
