US companies get paid by the US government (American tax dollars). The expectation isn't that Ukraine will ever pay the US back monetarily. It's not like these death merchant companies write a bill to the Ukrainian government.
Do you think Ukrainian generals are stupid? The Ukrainian military will be slaughtered in the open field whether they have US tanks or whatever or don't. Urban warfare is the best option because urban warfare is the most difficult for an invading force to face. That they're losing doesn't change that fact. They were always going to lose if they fought on their own. This was understood by everyone with any sense on day one. This is why this war is a tragedy. NATO/US know the Ukrainian military can't win but they push them forward anyway and hence why I said, "NATO/US will fight until the last Ukrainian."
Why not in 2014 when there was a US led coup of the Ukrainian government? A legitimate government fell to an illegitimate government and before you say "but it was controlled by Russia!" the prior elections were monitored by international obervers
and deemed a fair election. Under your reasoning, Putin waited 8 years to invade because... ????
I'm going to stop here because you clearly do not know what you're talking about and I'm not wasting my time with someone who doesn't even know the basics. Yes, look at what Russia did to Georgia. A nation that was basically a NATO member without being a NATO member just like Ukraine.

Why would NATO care about shitty little Georgia? They don't other than surrounding Russia. This is a recipe for disaster and naturally Russia acted. Once again, if Russia or China or another nation antagonistic to the US had the same relationship that NATO/US had with Georgia in our hemisphere there would be hell to pay.
You also showed ignorance in your previous post when you said, "Well, why not attack the Baltic states. They have missiles also. The reason for invading Ukraine is nonsense." How does someone not know that if you attack a nation that is a NATO member that there will be all out war with NATO?
I just don't have the patience. You need to at least know the basics.
It's this type of question that reminds me why I shouldn't bother having a serious discussion.
I'm not defending anyone. I'm using something called reason and objectivity, which most forum posters here have no ability to do. If you switch Mexico for Ukraine and Russia for the US the same thing would happen because nations look out for their own interests. This is a needlessly stupid war that could have been avoided if the US didn't meddle in Ukraine. It's as simple as that.
