One of the major objections for holding back on arming Ukraine with more advanced weaponry is that Ukraine’s war goal of liberating all occupied territories is ostensibly “unrealistic”. However, this objection is particularly ridiculous considering the proven track record of the Ukrainian military, including the ability to liberate major territories despite foreign pessimism all along. What foreign analysts had predicted that Ukraine would survive the Russian invasion? What foreign analysts had predicted that Ukrainian offensives would be fantastically successful? Furthermore, this does not only depend on the Ukrainians. Western governments need to ask themselves whether they prefer delaying Ukrainian victory and thus prolonging the war by continuing to provide Ukraine with insufficient military support or whether they prefer to shorten the war, prevent civilian suffering and deliver a global knock-out victory for Pax Americana ASAP?
