That's the military version of spray and pray. Not very effective.
Have you considered the possibility that she is retconning?

There would not just have to be the tanks...there's a huge logistics trail that follows tanks. They require about 4 hours of maintenance for every hour of operation, a whole logistics infrastructure would need to be transplanted. That and training operators and maintainers. I suppose it could be done with "contractors".Lindsey Graham Calls for US Tanks on the Ground in Ukraine - Wants All-Out War with Nuclear Russia | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

As far as I know, the US is not sending any "tanks" to the Ukraine. We are sending ~ a battalion (50) Bradley M-2 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs). France is sending some armored cars, Germany is sending some Marder IFVs.Lindsey Graham Calls for US Tanks on the Ground in Ukraine - Wants All-Out War with Nuclear Russia | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

That being said, anything we would send over from the M48A5 on would be relevant on the battlefield there. M60A3's would be a game changer. M-1's any version would be overkill...just the way I like it.
Also, a bit hyperbolic on the implication that sending armor for them to use is the one thing that will start nuclear war.
Which ones? the ones in port with poor maintenance an untrained crews, or the ones on the bottom of the black sea because of poor maintenance and poorly trained crews.Former Russian president calls for warships with hypersonic missiles to be stationed near Washington, DC

Had to do something. Patriot is one complex system. Like star wars complex. Best to get them over here and get them trained right and completely. Can't have US advisors around helping them run the thing in Ukraine.Ukrainian troops heading to Oklahoma for Patriot missile training
