Okay I could have worded it better, maybe I should have said "all we can". But I still think the basic concept is valid. Right now the biggest issue (as far as saving civillian's lives) is air defense. We could get a lot more in there but we're more worried about US politics. And yeah I know we would have "spend a lot of tax dollars" but we can easily afford it. Hell, Jake Bro has raised millions on on his Youtube channel.i disagree in the "send all we got" because they had no idea how to operate efficiently. IT would have created more problems than it solved.
And what i forgot to mention as well- geopolitical AND domestic political fall-out.
The US in particular is having to thread a VERY small needle here. There are geopolitical forces at play here we know NOTHING about. Sure, would be nice to show the world just how badarse we can be, but there is a level of diplomatic processes we have to work within.
So its not as straight-forward as it may seem ( just handing over all we can ) - but my main point to @Tapxe was that while we say " they need to understand OUR situation" the same holds true for anyone over here- " we need to understand THEIR situation" and take that into account whenever we run across a post that seems a bit " whiney"
