* Given the contribution of the US so far and their continuing support and allocation of weapons, I would be extremely loath and hesitant to criticise them for any tardiness. I am not a citizen of the US, so I am speaking as a relatively impartial observer.
There is a coalition or conference of nearly 60 countries assisting and supporting Ukraine, with military hardware, equipment and ammunition of various types. Those countries, to the extent of their relative and respective capacites, offer Ukraine support with logistical, tactical and intelligence provision and planning. Ukraine has the deciding voice on decisions. So, people on the "outside" cannot know what information is being provided, how it is being used or the plans that are developed, confirmed and, subsequently, put into action.
Had "everything been offered up front", say 12 or 18 months ago, the Ukrainians would have been facing the following additional Russian military resources, over and above the currently operating Russian military equipment and hardware that the Russians still retain. {according to Ukrainian sources} The Russian hardware and equipment, detailed below, have been destroyed, damaged, or captured and now used by Ukrainians:
"252,200 Military personnel; 315 Aircraft; 313 Helicopters; 4278 Tanks; 8303 Armoured Combat Vehicles; 5028 Artillery Systems; 469 Air Defence Systems; 711 Multiple Rocket Launchers; 7495 Vehicles and Fuel Tankers; 18 Ships and Boats; 4179 Tactical unmanned aircraft; 1,377 Cruise Missiles; 746 Special vehicles and other equipment."
Consequently, the Ukrainian forces may, at some earlier time, 12 or 18 months ago, have been completely overwhelmed. By depleting Russia's resources while gradually increasing the quality and quantity of Ukraine's resources, Russia's capacity has gradually been diminished without the threat of a Russian "all out" offensive, or their ever present threat of use of nuclear weapons being acted on. I believe that the process has been approached strategically and methodically since last year, and in a fashion that has not elicited a reactive nuclear or overwhelming response by the Russians.

I believe that your observations about the possible loss of respect for the Free World are reasonable. However, I believe that the circumstances for that to occur will not be allowed to eventuate. Fear of failure or the possibility of "looking like prats" should not cause us to lose perspective, in terms of timing, resources or objectives. As I have said in other posts, had the Ukrainians mounted a massive offensive 12 or 18 months ago, they would have faced overwhelming odds in terms of TerroRussian numbers of military personnel, hardware and equipment. I do not share your scepticism.
The Russians, in the last 18 months, have lost for their use; 252,200 Military personnel; 315 Aircraft; 313 Helicopters; 4278 Tanks; 8303 Armoured Combat Vehicles; 5028 Artillery Systems; 469 Air Defence Systems; 711 Multiple Rocket Launchers; 7495 Vehicles and Fuel Tankers; 18 Ships and Boats; 4179 Tactical unmanned aircraft; 1,377 Cruise Missiles; 746 Special vehicles and other equipment.
That is compared to far fewer losses of Ukrainian hardware and equipment. Indeed, it is said that the TerroRussians have been among the greatest contributors of tanks to the Ukrainian military, through capture by Ukrainians. And the losses to the Russians are accruing at a far greater rate than the losses to Ukrainians. Web-Search "Losses of hardware in Ukraine". On the Oryx website, confirmed losses for Russia and Ukraine are identified individually. You may find it interesting. The listing provides totals at the start of each item of hardware listed followed by a record of every identified vehicle or piece of hardware, in categories similar to {but not the same as} those shown above.

And we can also laugh with mirth, anger and despair at others like him, such as Skabeyeva, Simonyan, Mardan and others, of whom we may become aware through the efforts of the people at "Russian Media Monitor", where Russian media "presentations" are translated and have English subtitles showing what these characters say. At times, frustrating, challenging, unbelievable {literally}, comical and sometimes humerous, frightening and scary, crazy and likely to induce strong feelings of anger.
