im gonna break it down for you, in order to win early on the ukies needed buttloads of weapons very quickly. problems: 1. quickly doesnt happen in democracies, as pretty much every action needs to satisfy a lot of voters/politicians 2. a lot of weapons also doesnt happen in democracies, because again, the politicians dont want to jump the gun and look like warmongers to their colleagues and voters. another reason is that western interventionism has been dead since afganistan, and the political logic has gone from fuck up your opponent now to give as many off ramps as possible in order to cuck your opponent (but also yourself) out of a victory so were the americans a bit retarded at the start? yes. are they deliberately prolonging the war? no, ending a war in a victorious manner is an unironic election winner and is the dream for pretty much every politician.
