Im really not interested in WW3 for an area of land that 95% of Americans couldn’t spot on a map prior to the invasion, and only 15% could post invasion. I feel bad for the Ukrainian people. I feel bad for the Russian people. This is a pointless war. But we should not be involved. And if we have to get involved could we not broadcast it to the Russians. Do they have to broadcast we are shipping them more ammo, missiles, and medical supplies.

This is a very good point. Another poster mentioned Russian assistance to Vietnam, which was extensive. The difference is that they just sent the shit and didn't advertise it.
Bragging about how much and what type of war material we are sending over there just invites the obvious conclusion that it's a de facto declaration of war.
Like we knew they were doing it, they knew we knew they were doing it. But they would have never admitted it. We did this same stuff in WW2 we bragged about arming one side. And I’m glad we did arm that side. But we don’t need to telegraph what we are doing. It’s like giving to charity and then bragging about giving to charity. You didn’t give to help that cause. You gave to get yourself attention. And that’s not a good reason to give to charity.
The only reason the Russian army could maneuver during the battle of Stalingrad is because they were driving American made trucks. During WW2 we sent the Soviets over 400,000 trucks and jeeps.

We actually gave billions to Russia in WW2. I guess we're even now?
