But if the US would abandon Ukraine, it would prolly emboldened China's own design for Taiwan.

The United States may send additional weapons to Ukraine due to the threat of the Russian Federation, - CNN

"The Pentagon is now deciding what to do with them after the US withdraws from Afghanistan," says the message.
At the same time, a number of US officials are concerned that the shipment of weapons to Ukraine may be regarded by Moscow as a serious escalation of the conflict.
in particular, retired lieutenant colonel Cedric Leighton told CNN that the Javelin anti-tank missiles "are very effective against the T-80 tanks that the Russians are actually using against Ukraine right now."
He also noted that any additional assistance to Ukraine is undoubtedly fraught with "further exacerbation of tension in relations with Moscow."
Earlier, the media reported that the Ukrainian authorities turned to the United States with a request for the supply of Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
