Ok, nobody disagrees, but the issue is it took them over a year in some cases to
begin training after finally deciding to provide them many months after they were needed.

The military support the West has been providing Ukraine is extraordinary - unprecedented since WW2 in its scope and speed.
So what’s your theory for why support hasn’t ramped up as quickly as you’d like? What’s the hidden agenda?

I explicitly said it in the post you quoted. I think US intelligence is scared of a post Putin Russia. What if someone worse takes power? Putin is very clearly scared of dying and of NATO involvement so nuclear retaliation doesn't seem to be a serious concern.
