Reply to comment by gangmasterfader in Biden says no F-16s for Ukraine as Russia claims gains by joshemerson

No that my opinion matters in the grand scheme, but this is what I want for Ukraine:

  • Ukraine retakes all of its territory, including Crimea.

  • Ukraine pushes Russian forces off its soil.

  • Ukraine is in a position to defend itself from future attacks.

Although I get the strategic logic of striking Russia to help further those 3 goals, I think it would cause more problems than it solves.

After Ukraine retakes all of its territory, pushes Russia out, and these is an end to hostilities, THEN it makes sense for Ukraine to acquire more long range weapons. They would provide a strong deterrent from Russia invading again.
