The Germans couldn't take Russia down when they were very strong back when, and the French damn sure won't now. Trump should say straight up that if they jump in, they will get nothing from the US.

Maybe they can send a few for the "Free the Palestinians" cause as well.

Had the Germans not been fighting a war on two fronts, down jackets, and some beef jerky the Russians would be speaking German.

The USSR probably would have lost without help from the west.

America sent its Russian ally the following military equipment:
400,000 jeeps and trucks
14,000 airplanes
8,000 tractors
13,000 tanks
Etc.

U.S. transported an entire Ford Company tire factory, which made tires for military vehicles, to the Soviet Union.

Nikita Khrushchev, who led the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, agreed with Stalin’s assessment. In his memoirs, Khrushchev described how Stalin stressed the value of Lend-Lease aid: “He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war.”

The winter defeated the Germans just like it defeated Napoleon. Winter and distance plays hell with logistics.

The French aren’t going into Ukraine. It is all talk.
