Committing the Reserve?

The United States lifted the restriction on Ukraine using Javelin anti-tank missiles in the ongoing war with Russia. Until now we'd insisted on Ukraine holding them in reserve in case Russia escalated the war.

Perhaps Russian massing of forces near Ukraine prompted this change.



Russia had already deployed nearly 500 tanks to the Donbas hand puppet "rebels" there. Germany can't match that arsenal, as a point of comparison. And now Russia has more troops around Ukraine.

I guess it is time to dredge up my old post on a big war despite Russian denials--denials made weak by a history of attacking and occupying territory in Ukraine.
