Both are lose, lose scenarios.


MINOR RANT
As an aside I think that with all the $$$$$++++++ NATO has spent on defence that when push comes to shove and we don’t have huge supplies of ammunition is blatant incompetence. 2 years to produce more? Good gawd what was the plan if NATO itself had been attacked? Go ugly (nuclear) early?
Some think that they just want to supply enough arms and munitions to let the war drag on.
Heavens forbid that they allow Ukraine to target stuff far inside Russia because “It may be seen as a provocation”. Talk about having to fight with one arm tied behind your back. Repelling a vicious attack by the local insane bully is not a boxing match with a referee and the Marquess of Queensberry Rules!
