I think, and this is shitty, that those in power in the Democratic and Republican parties wanted a long counterinsurgency conflict they could fund, profit off of and weaken/distract Russia.
The amazing thing is Ukraine didn't get the memo and I really don't think the political military industrial complex in the US in general knew how to handle it.
Ughhh
The difference now is while Trump doesn't want Ukraine to win, he actually can't really do anything about it.
They essentially get to offload all their old gear with reason to replace with the latest and greatest.
