You are showing your ignorance of this war. At the time the Obama admin gave aid 70% or more of the Ukrainian casualties came from Russia missiles/artillery. They had artillery but no way of identifying where the russian attacks came from. We gave them that capability which greatly diminished Russians artillery.
Now the javilines...how many have been used in combat? How many lives have they directly saved?
The javilines were a symbolic gesture. By holding egickethem up trump sent a clear message to Russia.
