Is Russia going to be ok with US Bradleys to Ukraine? No worries for escalation?

I just saw on the RAV crawl the US is sending Bradley fighting vehicles over to Ukraine.

I know many on here will say frick Russia, the US can send whatever weapons and military hardware we want. I'm a little concerned that the US is going to have an incident at some point that involves US military personnel who are being sent over to lend support to the Ukrainians. That support would include operational training and maintenance of US military equipment and weapons systems.

What could go wrong?

I don't think that APCs are the weapon systems that have the Russians sweating in their sleep.

I agree, definitely not the biggest concern for Russia, German tanks and missile systems are the big factors.

I’d hate for that to happen but see afghan 2.0 happening or leave all this gear to Russia.

My thought too.

The anti-missile systems are probably a different story.

Yeah, guided rocket artillery has killed 4-5000 Russians in the last week.

The goal is to keep provoking Russia. War mongers are cheering this on.

The Ukrainians seem to be somewhat more-dedicated to their cause than were "our Afghan allies."

If providing a battery of HIMARS didn't cause them to hit the nuke button then I think we're in the clear on the Bradleys

If the Russians get mad they may launch an invasion or start indiscriminately bombing civilians. We wouldn’t want that.

Well we lost 13 servicemen evacuating the Afghan people (while they were leaving Americans behind and this administration didn’t bat an eye. After that I don’t have any faith that this administration would do anything other than send a strongly worded letter. Which any leader of any country would just laugh
