If we can give Ukraine GLSDB's in sufficient volume, that could be a brobdingnagian impact. It could force further dispersal of logistics, command and control to over double the current distances. Not being able to concentrate people or munitions anywhere near the front lines would be extremely difficult to manage, and Ukraine seems to have no shortage of people willing to give them information/coordinates to target.
Reportedly Germany wants us to authorize Abrams for them to give leopards.

The issues with sending Abrams have been discussed, but if that’s what it takes we should send some over; even if only as a symbolic gesture. Let them be stationed in Kyiv or Lviv as a reserve unit to limit logistics/fuel issues.
