It Doesn't Matter.

William Burns may have been, once, long time ago, an acceptable diplomat and CIA asset in Moscow, but military thinker he is not, as are not those people in CIA who "plan" those 404 "operations". 

Senior intelligence officials warned on Monday that without additional American aid, Ukraine faced the prospect of continued battlefield losses as Russia relies on a network of critical arms suppliers and drastically increases its supply of technology from China. In public testimony during the annual survey of worldwide threats facing the United States, the officials predicted that any continued delay of U.S. aid to Ukraine would lead to additional territorial gains by Russia over the next year, the consequences of which would be felt not only in Europe but also in the Pacific. “If we’re seen to be walking away from support for Ukraine, not only is that going to feed doubts amongst our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific; it’s going to stoke the ambitions of the Chinese leadership in contingencies ranging from Taiwan to the South China Sea,” William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, told Congress.

The US may unfreeze those $61 billion, she may even try to supply more of the same, more Patriots, more M1 Abrams et al--it doesn't matter. This is what they cannot grasp due to low level of education and culture. This is a new paradigm for them--all of them are "graduates" of the school of "beating the crap from defenseless nations" strategic "studies", and with the level of economic "science" in the West they cannot grasp how this all unfolds. They panic, they propose some band-aid to the patient stricken with the 4th stage cancer, all in vain--it is a different warrior culture they cannot grasp, they simply have no reference points. The United States never had Alexander Nevsky, Kutuzov or Zhukov. They fear what they cannot understand, but the question is--did they ever try? Nope... Burns wasted his time in Moscow, he learned absolutely nothing.
