In reply to the discussion: Denmark to give Ukraine all of its artillery [View all]paleotn
(17,997 posts)15. I agree. The problem is buy vs. give.
Foreign nations, particularly close allies, can buy US arms with relatively limited congressional interference. Giving, even to close allies, is a whole different ball game.
In my mind, the solution depends on if we take the House this year. If we do, my hope is Biden goes big. Really big. Escalation be damned. Pass a massive deal to fully supply Ukraine long term and stop with these penny ante aid packages that are doing little other than keeping Ukraine on life support.

Probably not a lot of guns but its the ammo that is really needed. Glad EU gets the need!

Denmark has 19 CAESAR 8x8, which are extremely well regarded. Can easily shoot and scoot.
