Ukrainians have started to receive their M1117 that were pledged to them in 2022 (250 in total). These are infantry fighting vehicles that are more armored and more capable than the Humvees:

It’s not that I am criticizing anyone but that number is nothing when you thing that 7 Billion $ worth military equipment was left in Afghanistan including some 100,000 military vehicles that include 12,000 Humvees.

So after gifting so many weapons to an “Afghan Government” who simply didn’t care about its own survival I don’t know why Trumpists are so hesitant about providing more support to Ukrainians who are dying perhaps every few minutes or so to protect their independence.
+ I read somewhere that Ukrainian defense would collapse without military support from the U.S.
I don’t agree with that. Europe will still continue to support them no matter what and Ukrainians will not give in to Russia (not after some 70 years of Soviet Oppression).
On the U.S. being opposed to the delivery of long range systems: Once there was this event in my life. A weaker man was about to be beaten by two other guy (one of them tall and strong, the other one smaller and weak) So when I stepped in the taller guy backed up a little so what we did was (basically) to allow the two other weaker guys sort the issues out among themselves.
So no one wants an escalation that can include a nuclear escalation. In the end of the day Ukrainians will have to fight for themselves. By I still want to salute Mr Macron going more macho on Putin. Somebody has to do that after all
