Go back to Joe Biden. He promised that America would stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, and he sent more than $66bn in military aid. That was welcome. But it came with a crippling condition. In return for American weapons, Washington demanded that Ukraine do nothing to “escalate”.

Basically when the US was sending money Ukraine couldn't attack effectively, then the orange fart of the seal stopped sending money, allowing Ukraine to strike Russian oil refineries and take the war to Putler's doorstep.
