      The dumbass here is you. Whenever the US has given any type of aide it always comes with strings attached. Even right now as the US, France, and Germany is giving aide to Ukraine there are strings attached. Until recently the weapons supplied by those countries were not to be used on Russian soil. That changed in May. If things went as you thought they went then the Ukrainians would take western weapons and walk right into Russia bring the fight with them from the beginning instead of being confined to using western weapons only in Ukraine. But they couldn’t because the countries that’s arming Ukraine said no.
