Ukraine realism:

I am worried the optimists among us have unreasonable expectations based on what I read on the internet (admittedly a poor sample of the populace).

We spent an average of 50 billion a year fighting folks only armed with small arms, RPGs and IEDs. War is expensive, and 60 billion is a lot, but it's not a lot to fight the 2nd best equipped military on the planet.

Don't get me wrong, the Ukrainians have done an amazing job with the scraps we and other nations have provided

My point. Adjust your expectations because more is going to be required most likely.

More from us, more from our allies.

@Lulz4l1f3 If our military wants shiny new toys then they need to make room for them. I would rather Ukraine gets them than giving military surplus to cops.
