In February 1941, the U.K. Prime Minister spoke about finishing the job. The lend-lease program was approved by Congress after this powerful speech. The U.K. had access to the United States production capacity. The action was necessary to stop the Nazi advances.

History rhymes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is asking for equipment to stop the advance of the Russian Army. There is a lend-lease program for Ukraine.

Details are important as Congress is acting in a supportive manner. Russia needs to face a military defeat. The history of sanctions supports the idea that they don't change policy, but rather make conduct of business more difficult and cause distress on the economy as shown in Iraq, Iran, North Korea and others.

Military success must be accompanied by sanctions.

Zelenskyy requested weapons and support in line with his philosophy. The courage and bravery of the Ukrainian soldiers has been proven. The transfer of three squadrons of A-10 aircraft to the Ukrainian Air Force could be decisive.

This aircraft was designed to counter an armored assault in Europe. The current Russian force is similar to the ones that proved effective in Desert Storm. They became the infantry's friend in close-air support missions.

The United States Air Force is ready to deploy. The transfer to the Ukrainian Air Force could be completed in a few days.

The coming onslaught of armored forces requires firepower. Air power will be decisive for ground forces. The A-10 was designed for this purpose.

NATO was asked for air support by Zelenskyy. NATO declined the request. Russia has not attacked NATO.

Each country has an opportunity to decide based on its own moral compass. The United States has already supplied lethal aid to slow the Russian advance. Military analysts agree that the long-term outlook for Ukraine is not good. A person predicts a resistance war for a long time.

Zelenskyy requested air power support. Slowing or stopping the Russian armored forces is necessary. The U.S. Air Force has the most effective weapon for this role. The service wants to retire most of the fleet. The airplane was designed to operate in Europe. Pilot retraining is not very extensive. The only thing needed is painting the aircraft. It could be done in a few days.

Russia's invading force needs to be slowed down each day. Adding the A-10 to the list of weapons already scheduled is the best way to implement the United States moral compass. The potential impact of sanctions is weakened by the failure to add defensive capability to current Ukraine forces. They are both actions.
