    This means they’re going to not cut their losses.

    Is this a real question? I know you repeatedly admit you don't know much of anything about the topics you have strong opinions on ... but really?

    I would assume the Biden administration and NATO have been advising Ukraine on tactics since the start of this war. The west doesn't want to be throwing away their weaponry.

    lord, I hope not. western militaries are not nearly as nimble and adaptable as the AFU has proven itself to be.

    This is how it feels like reasoning with the war mongers.

    1. Russia is going to take over Europe
    2. Russia wants to reunite the great USSR
    3. Russia wants to control the grain fields
    4. Russia wants to create a global conflict by detonating a nuclear bomb is eastern Europe and blame America for setting off the nuke.
    5. Now we are supporting Ukraine to show China what will happen if they invade Tiawan (more war mongering fantasy)

    Next week it will be:

    Yes, you are pumping out an incredibly stupid narrative, with all respect due. A narrative that is breathtaking in its ignorance, while being sad and disappointing at the same time. Sad and disappointing because you represent a minority of Americans who have bought into Russia's propaganda. Propaganda repeated by those in the media, like Tucker Carlson, who pumps it out on Fox for the ratings, as well as the far-right extremist "information" sources on the fringe of this country who repeat it for the same reason, or who, like you, actually believe it.

    Never mind that we are sending Ukraine what amounts to a small fraction of our defense budget. A small fraction of our budget that Ukraine's military is using to methodically destroy Russia's military. People keep telling you that, and you keep repeating nonsense in response.

    I had this conversation in another thread, but it would be helpful if you would distinguish between what constitutes "the fringe" in the one instance vs "a small fraction" in the other.

    The "fringe" is represented, in this instance, by @Space Ghost. The "small fraction" is the amount of military aid we are sending to Ukraine relative to the size of our defense budget. It's not "rocket science."

    just to clarify, is the "fringe" larger/smaller than a "small fraction?"

    edit: this is a math, not a political, question.

    Only if everyone would stop being violent towards each other, we would have world peace.
