do your fecking homework before spouting lies!
It's like listening to a Corbyn supporter. Everything else is lies, only the One True Candidate speaks truth.
Obama was careful not to supply weaponry that would support offensive operations - but supplied capability that supported defensive operations. Don't knock medical support, logistic support, training, protected mobility (the UK even handed over a bunch of Saxons, IIRC) - they're all rather important.
Meanwhile, the Javelins are only a couple of platoons' worth, and even then the terms of the sale limit them to defensive operations - i.e. a deterrent to the Russians deciding to have a cabby westwards, not a means to recapture eastern Ukraine. Don't expect to see burning T-80s in the Donbass any time soon.
There's a huge loophole in the GOP's claim that Trump's sale of Javelin missiles to Ukraine shows his support for the country
The Ukrainians cannot actually use the anti-tank missiles in the conflict against pro-Russian separatists based on the terms of the sale.
