The Ukraine war, you have another insane person in Russia, Putin, who is aligning himself with China, and the nations that are aligned with the currency called BRICS. All of these countries could play many games with the supply and flow of oil worldwide. So, take that under consideration.
Putin has also showed that he is quite comfortable sacrificing 100,000 or more Russian troops, President Biden has not committed any American ground forces, and neither has NATO. President Biden by taking this slow approach with some weapons, demonstrates he is working with our NATO allies. He probably did this because he was also trying to balance Turkey's support to finally allowing Finland, but now Sweden to join NATO.
Turkey is not exactly a steady NATO ally when it comes to new members, but President Biden completed this delicate task. Negotiations are a tricky thing, especially in the middle east, when you make any decision, you disappoint many other countries in the region.
Meanwhile Russia has been exhausting itself, and its economy in support of this war, another reason they have aligned themselves with these other nations in BRICS and now are acquiring weapons from those countries.
You think any war is simple in the year 2024, President Bush learned that in Afghanistan and Iraq, the reason we were there for 20 years.
These are just some of the opening questions that must be considered before any new weapon is introduced into the battlefield. Each time President Bidem gives a new American weapon to Ukraine he is risking support from each NATO country, he is also making all of those nations that support BRICS sit up and decide what they will do next to support Russia.
Right now, the war in Ukraine is contained to just a few regions in Ukraine, but in any war, it never takes much to shift the boundaries, and the countries that are participating.
Lastly it is war, Ukrainian's are dying by the day in defense of their nation, the breadbasket of the world. If the war does expand you risk food shortages all over the world, they depend on that wheat, and this escalation could really disrupt those food supply lines. Those supply lines are still fragile two years post pandemic, shipping around the world does not adjust quickly. Dry Bulk shipping signslong tern contracts, and those ships are already running at capacity.
It is war, with powerful weapons that can be used by many countries, I like slow.
