      You mean sending aid to the country defending itself from a much larger more dangerous country rather than the one that’s wrecking a tiny already occupied open air prison just fine by itself? And the first enemy actually poses a danger to our politics and elections, while the second enemy can barely get fresh food and water let alone exert any international influence at all? Hm… Nah, makes too much sense for US politicians… That won’t do.

          That’s because Hamas is everywhere and everything. Children in hospital, Hamas! Tunnel that Israel built, Hamas! All out of everything bagels, Hamas! Stub your toe, Hamas!

      It’s different stuff. Ukraine isn’t equipped or trained to really get the benefits of modern US weapons. You can see this with the M1 tanks, we trained crews how to use them, but without the supporting doctrine and strategy from commanders they aren’t that useful. They also don’t really have the capability to do maintenance as effectively, basically every US vehicle requires absurd maintenance.

      If the US really wanted to help Ukraine, making the country a no fly zone would probably be the biggest benefit.
