Well...thats not entirely accurate either.
Ukraine is being supplied by NATO forces.
NATO cant put boots on the ground, but they've been fairly generous in terms of donating materiel. Very similar to what the US did in WWII with England prior to Pearl Harbour with the 'Lend/Lease' act.
Take those Western Weapons away and, despite the ineptitude of the Russian military we'd probably be seeing a very different story.
I think everyone is astonished at the amazing ineptitude of the Russian Army...but I'm just 'some guy' its not my job or even my hobby to know about Russian armament. You'd think the USA and/or NATO would have had a little bit more of a finger on the pulse there.
Because nobody should ever have been afraid of this.
