WASHINGTON — The Biden administration is poised to approve sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Tuesday, as international reluctance toward sending tanks to the battlefront against Russian forces begins to erode.
The decision could be announced as soon as Wednesday, though it could take months or years for their delivery.

Good, I think Putins actions have shown we are long past limiting our aid to just primarily defensive weapons.

SGT Charlie Lee I agree but can also understand why we were limiting to defensive and short range systems.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - The way I've heard it is, right now the Russian civilians are against the war, but if we give longer range weapons and they are used against Russia the people will see it as the country is being targeted and will change their view.

SPC Gary C. Then again they may see their country is actually involved in a war, not a special operation to eliminate Nazi's.
